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.
