Every year we release updates to 6-in-1 to support the latest tax forms, changes in tax law, and to enhance the product.  This article includes step-by-step instructions to install these updates for Server Edition users running the FileMaker 19 version of our product on Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022.  Screen shots for these instructions are based on Windows Server 2019, but can easily be adapted for users running Server 2016 or 2022.

FileMaker Pro (FMP) is the engine that runs 6-in-1 on your desktop wether you are using Standalone or Server Edition.  For various reasons, you may need to apply incremental updates.  For example, when Server Edition is updated with the latest 6-in-1 database components (the usual annual update, at minimum), the client side of the equasion (FMP for 6-in-1) often also should be updated.  New in late 2024, Lackner Connect (a new utility that manages your 6-in-1 software and facilitates automatic updates) is recommended, and is included with the latest update which this guide steps through.

6-in-1 supports single-user and multi-user installations.  Multi-user installations are supported for both Windows and macOS.  In this environment, 6-in-1 users on either platform can connect to the shared 6-in-1 database hosted on a server running Windows or macOS.  The two platforms work seamless together.  This article offers step-by-step dirctions for installing the FileMaker Server component on a server running Windows Server.
