I've just tested this, in Thailand, on a Thai keyboard.

The central keys on each row of the keyboard (6,7; y,u; h,j; b,n) cannot be used. This means that most of the vowels are unavailable, making typing impractical.

The retail license allows you to install FileMaker Pro on two computers for your exclusive use. This suggests that what you want can be done but not for the purpose of sharing a database from one MacBook to the other i.e. not for concurrent use.

Hi Daryl
Your license you bought should come with both mac and PC installers. If you have a CD, put it in your Mac and install. If you have a download, check the links for a Mac installer (dmg file).

There is no upgrade path available from FileMaker 7 to FileMaker 12. You will need to purchase a full license for FileMaker Pro 12.

FileMaker Inc., currently offer upgrades to version 12 from versions 9, 10 and 11. Version 9 support ends on September 27, 2012.

However, once you have done so, you can upgrade the files from the FP7 format directly to the new FMP12 format. Once that is done, you can start to update your files to take advantage of all the new features in versions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. You have a lot more functionality!

You may use the application for your expenses, time tracking and for your clients. Please consider visiting the Solutions tab from the filemaker.com website and the Made for FileMaker section has many ready made templates. You may use a template as a starting point or you can create the layout from scratch to meet your specific needs. Please note if you are not familiar with creating the layout the Support tab from the homepage offers the option to search for a Consultant in your area who can set it up.
