FileMaker Pro 2025
New Windows improvement speeds FileMaker Pro startup in closed networks by using AI_DISABLEEXTERNALURLS in Assisted Install.txt. Set to 1 to block external URLs, which disables Claris ID, Cloud, Connect, Studio and update notices. Also fixes PDF font spacing and a sluggish Home window.
Important
If you connect to a host running FileMaker Server 2023 (version 20) or earlier, wait to upgrade to FileMaker Pro 2025 until the host is also upgraded. If you're unsure, ask your IT department, server administrator, or app developer.
For supported host versions, see Claris FileMaker 2025 Technical Specifications.New features and enhancements
