FM Registrations 1.5 released

FM Registrations 1.5 released

The update is primarily aimed at simplifying the user interface


21. October 2020In FilemakerBy Karsten Risseeuw2 Minutes

What’s new?

Kursiv launches a new version of FM Registrations. Version 1.5 of the tool for FileMaker developers is now available and creates license codes for your own FileMaker-based products.

The current update is primarily aimed at a better user interface and a simplification of the workflow. In addition, the manuals (English / German) have been rewritten and the introductory videos have been completely rewritten (English / German).

Date processing has also been improved. A definite end date for a license is now saved as a number so that processing on a date also works with different file locations and system settings.

Create licenses for your FileMaker-based products

FM Registrations can be used to generate activation codes for your FileMaker solutions. This enables you to sell standard products that you have created with FileMaker worldwide. FM Registrations is a FileMaker development and can be used to generate and manage licenses. The codes can be used as access codes, but are also used to configure your solution.

FM Registrations consists of two parts: A code generator, which is used to create customer addresses, create software profiles and generate unique activation codes, and a sample file that shows how to decrypt the license codes.

FM Registrations makes it possible to sell your own FileMaker applications and to provide each customer with an activation code. Such a code can

  • Unlock
  • Allow configurations
  • Unlock functions
  • Define the number of users
  • Determine the end date of a license or subscription period
  • etc.

FM Registrations is a marketing tool that enables flexible pricing. For example, you can create prices based on the number of users or configure different versions of the same file using an activation code.

FM Registrations encrypts and decrypts all information. The implementation is up to you. The possibilities are endless.

Detailed descriptions

A more detailed description of this update, as well as new manuals and all introductory videos can be found on the website fmstarter.com .

FM Registrations is sold with free updates for one year. The last version can then be downloaded directly from your own account at kursiv-software.com.

FM Designer - designing FileMaker projects made easy

10 themes for FileMaker Pro


Kursiv Software has just launched a new product for FileMaker developers. FM Designer is a collection of 10 themes for FileMaker Pro that work together perfectly. But FM Designer is also an elegant tool for creating your own designs.

Development is not just technical

Apple showed the way: Good products not only convince with their functionality, but also with their excellent design. The design often determines whether a product is classified as good, simple or interesting. An elegant design always brings the essentials to the point. It’s an art.

FileMaker developers are always faced with design, because FileMaker Pro combines functionality with layouts and objects. That’s why FileMaker developers always play the role of designer. As a developer, however, you do not always have the knowledge or the time to develop a good design. How do you solve the dilemma?

10 FileMaker Designs

FileMaker Pro isn’t layout software, but it does offer a lot of design aids. For example, there is a grid and auxiliary lines that can be displayed on the page and used for positioning objects. In addition, objects can be defined with style templates. A set of style templates that are coordinated with one another can be saved as a “design” (“theme”). These designs simplify and standardize the layout. These designs can best be compared with CSS templates – the design descriptions, which are also used for websites. FileMaker has given this description of object properties a nice interface so that anyone can work with it.

FM Designer comprises 10 carefully put together designs, in which numerous variants are available for each object. The designs are compatible with each other. For example, if a layout was created with a certain design from this series, the design can be switched to another design with just a few clicks.

FM Designer and FM Developer Bundle

A new product bundle, the FM Developer Bundle, was also presented together with FM Designer. This package is a complete solution for new FileMaker projects and includes:

  1. FM Starter, the comprehensive starter file for new FileMaker projects
  2. FM Registrations, with which license codes for your own FileMaker solutions can be created
  3. FM Designer, a collection of FileMaker designs and tools for creating your own themes.

FM Designer was created on the basis of the FM Starter Design. Anyone who already works with FM Starter can now simply import designs from FM Designer and immediately switch to a new look.

Documents, videos and manuals

FM Designer comes with a detailed manual (German and English) and videos (German and English). The complete documentation can be found on fmstarter.com. The sale runs via kursiv-software.com.

FM Designer is a FileMaker file. In order to use the solution, a full version of FileMaker Pro is required (recommended: FileMaker Pro 18 or newer). The file itself is monolingual English, but the documents are multilingual.


FM Starter 2.15 released

FM Starter 2.15 released

Bug fixes and improvements


3. June 2020By Karsten Risseeuw3 Minutes

Kursiv has just released a new version of FM Starter. Version 2.15 fixed a few bugs and brought a few new features. It’s an important update that will bring significant improvements for some users. All changes for version 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 are now activated. The focus of this update is on the following topics:

  1. The standard theme has been expanded. The style sheets have been renamed and some new styles have been added. A third page was also integrated, on which all object styles were mapped with their own object. So there is now something like a style catalog with all style definitions.
  2. Landing pages for user groups. User groups now receive a target page for each platform (desktop / iPhone / iPad / web) that is accessed after logging in. So far there has only been a single “landing page” for this.
  3. Backup of program settings. Up to now, program settings have only been managed in global fields. However, if you develop a file on the server, you cannot permanently store any information here. There is now a backup function that reloads the correct data in the startup script.
  4. Language settings of the user are now correctly activated when the program starts.

These and other adjustments are listed in detail in the ToDo module and can be built into existing solutions if necessary.

Download and updates

All customers who bought or renewed FM Starter in the last year can download the update from their account on kursiv-software.com.

Advance notice FM Designer

Soon there will be growth: We are currently working on the completion of a new product called “FM Designer”. FM Designer offers 10 optimized design templates for FileMaker development that are perfectly tailored to FM Starter. The adjustments to the design templates in FM Starter 2.15 serve to prepare for the new FM Designer.

FM Designer will be released in June 2020.

What is FM Starter?

FM Starter is a start-up file for new FileMaker projects. The file includes basic modules for navigation, user administration, multilingual text labels and the like. Further information is available at fmstarter.com .


Working in times of crisis

Working in times of crisis

Don't panic - how we make the best out of adversity


13. March 2020By Karsten Risseeuw3 Minutes

Slowly, the full force of the coronavirus threat is also beginning to reach Switzerland. Switzerland currently ranks second in terms of worldwide infection, if you calculate per capita of the population instead of only assuming absolute numbers (statistics). Many are already working from their home office. Other companies suddenly have no more incoming orders. What is the best thing to do in these challenging times?

The Good News

Kursiv has some good news: Our products are virus-free. We also can guarantee that there is no danger of infection for humans, if you download our software solutions from kursiv-software.com or fmstarter.com. This applies for the publishing tools, the FileMaker solutions or also for our keywording software for photographers.

Normal everyday life: Urgent before important

Daily life used to look like this: If job prospects are good, we plan and produce. We are busy. Business is running well. However: Often urgent things are done first. Strategic decisions are postponed. This will happen in many small businesses. This situation now has suddenly changed. Nothing is urgent anymore, because orders are postponed, projects cancelled. Nobody knows how long this will last.

The opportunity: Important  before urgent

The seriousness of the situation also brings with it opportunities. If the category “urgent” suddenly no longer exists, another category can be given attention. Today is the time when “important before urgent” can be cultivated. This involves strategic considerations and the evaluation of the value chain. Whoever has time to evaluate these things now is in the best position for the time after the wave of infection.

Focus on software

Almost all business processes today can be optimized with software. A first step to an evaluation would be the clarification of internal business processes. Where does information flow together and how is it managed? Where are there redundancies? Are there clear structures? Which pieces of the puzzle are missing today? The time that is perhaps unintentionally available today can be put to good use to solve any issues.

Implementing ideas

You have to have ideas and then implement them. As FileMaker developers we support companies with the realization of their own software projects. We coach and train and often do this remotely. We also provide proven development tools such as “FM Starter”, a start file for new FileMaker projects. On the website fmstarter.com we offer free FileMaker modules, sample files and further help.

Anyone who comes up with ideas and strategic considerations has already won in many ways. Panic and lethargy are no good guides in today’s world. If you take advantage of the possibilities, you create a good starting position for yourself. In this way, a virtue can be made out of adversity.

Update FM Registrations 1.35

Generate your own activation codes for FileMaker solutions

With FM Registrations you manage licensees and registrations for your FileMaker solutions. The tool consists of two parts: FM Registrations as a code generator, and a sample file that shows the integration of the decryption for your solutions. The example file is structured as a FileMaker module and can be easily integrated into your own solution.

Information for customers

Where can I download the latest version?

Anyone who has already bought FM Registrations can download the latest version directly from their own account at kursiv-software.com (> here ).

How can I update my implementations?

Updating is particularly easy: open the latest sample file. In the “FMR License Registration” module, you can read in the ReadMe Script which changes have been made. Then copy the noted part of a script and use it to replace the corresponding part in an existing implementation.

That’s it!


Your WordPress website

Your own WordPress website

You can do a lot yourself. We do and organize the rest!


12. September 2018By Karsten Risseeuw3 Minutes

Your own website with WordPress

WordPress is perhaps the most widely used website building software. There is hardly anything that cannot be mapped with WordPress – portfolios for designers or photographers, web shops, event calendars, courses and much more. There are websites for restaurants and cafes, newspapers and magazines. Shops present themselves and their offers. WordPress is not perfect, but it is very flexible. There are also countless themes and plug-ins that can be used with little effort.

So WordPress is popular. Nothing is easier than building your own website with WordPress.

Helping people help themselves

But how do you get your own website? It’s not always easy for everyone. Italic offers help for self-help. We’ll help you set up and build your own WordPress website. You can decide for yourself how much you do yourself and what we contribute.

What it takes for a website

Do you want to revise your website or maybe create a completely new website? We would be happy to discuss your ideas and various options without obligation. Websites, one could almost say, are living beings in their own right. You’re born, it takes time to grow, it takes care and attention, and good social interaction. If all of this succeeds, websites are loyal companions for your tasks and they form a good interface with clients, suppliers and interested parties.

We define together:

  • Action
    We define the desired procedure in the first conversation. It is about general questions like: What do you expect from your website, what do you expect from us and what would you like to contribute yourself?
  • planning
    After an initial conversation, careful planning is often required. It’s about concept, design, target groups, functionality and much more. We see this as an advisory role and as part of a project.
  • implementation
    Planning in clearly defined work steps helps to implement the agreed goals within the budget.
  • Training and introduction
    Some prefer to do as much as possible themselves. Others prefer to work with us on the website from time to time. Others want to be trained by us. You determine what serves you the most. We would like to assist you with know-how, time and support.
  • Support and maintenance
    We are happy to help whenever necessary. We can call or remote via Support software help. You can find more information on our support page. We offer the maintenance of your website as Service at.

FM Registrations 1.31

FM Registrations 1.31

FM Registrations 1.31 is a maintenance update for FM Registrations and is free for all registered users. Registered users can download the latest version directly from their account. Data from the old version can be easily imported via import.

The following adjustments were made:

  • Bug fixes
  • Improvements in the user interface
  • New example file with improvements

Activation codes for your own FileMaker solutions

FM Registrations can be used to create activation codes for your own FileMaker solutions. Almost any parameters can be entered in the encrypted activation code, which are then decrypted again in the own solution during registration. In this way, for example, the expiry date, number of users and many other details can be activated or expanded using a license code. With the help of FM Registrations, FileMaker developers can both activate and configure their own solutions.
