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.

FileMaker Pro 16
FileMaker released a major upgrade to its database software last night. All Kursiv products that were created on the basis of FileMaker Pro are compatible with the new version of FileMaker Pro 16. This concerns:
- KIM Keywording
- FM starter
- FM registrations
None of our products already use the possibilities of the new software. However, the file format (FMP12) was retained. That is why all of our products run smoothly with the new version.

Create license keys for FileMaker solutions
Kursiv Software has just launched a new product for Filemaker developers. FM Registrations is Filemaker-based software that allows developers to sell, market, and even configure their own Filemaker standard solutions more easily.
FM Registrations consists of a code generator and a sample file. The developer registers his own FileMaker solutions, licensees and license keys in the code generator. The example file shows how to register the decryption of the license codes in your own solutions.

Simplify Filemaker development
Simplify database development with Filemaker
Well over 25 million Filemaker Pro licenses sold in just a few years. That makes you sit up and take notice. Filemaker, an Apple subsidiary, develops high-performance database software that is sold worldwide in various language versions. It is likely to be one of the best-selling, if not the best-selling, database software in the world.
Filemaker shines with ease of use, good design options, and support for a wide variety of platforms (Mac, Windows, iOS, Web). This makes getting started with database development particularly easy. With the help of Filemaker, business processes can be efficiently mapped and structured.
Many users start with one of the sample files that Filemaker ships with the software. Indeed, solutions to simple tasks are readily available. However, if the requirements increase, more know-how is required. Either you build up the know-how in your own company, or an external developer is brought in. There is also a third option: Obtain a starter solution from an external developer. This accelerates your own development.
This simplifies database development
If you want to get the database development going quickly and easily, the use of a starter solution is also suitable. A starting solution is a Filemaker file that has already solved many standard tasks. As a starting point for your own database development, such help can drastically shorten the development time.
With FM starter Kursiv offers such a tried and tested starting solution. On the website www.fmstarter.com there is more information on this. The starting solution offers the following, already integrated modules:
- Dynamic navigation
- Multilingual user interface
- Security settings
- User accounts
- Many other modules for searching, formatting phone numbers, etc.
- Style templates
- Separate windows for users, administrators and developers
- Simple address database as an example of implementation

File browser or database?
File browser or database?
KIM Keywording is a database and not a file browser. This is what distinguishes KIM Keywording from many other keywording programs. Using a database has many advantages for professional keywording. The differences between file browsers and database solutions are briefly explained here.
Most programs that support keywording are so-called file browsers. They read the files in a directory and, when you click on a file, show the metadata contained in this file. In other words, file browsers only refer to the images themselves.
KIM Keywording, on the other hand, is a database. When importing images, a separate data record is created for each file. The database is, so to speak, an extra level of information. With this extra level, additional information can now be recorded for which there are no IPTC fields: Additional languages for keywords, license information, releases, project names and project codes, notes for pictures with problematic topics (drugs, violence, nudity, ...) and the like. In addition, the workflow can be better organized by providing information on project progress, keywording status and customer contacts.
KIM Keywording is a database, but does not save the images themselves, it only creates information above the pictures. Of course there is a link from each data set to the corresponding image. In contrast to a file browser, however, the database can also be viewed separately from the image files. The keywording does not take place directly with the image files, but is solved in the database. Only the result is (can) be saved back in the image files, provided that IPTC fields are provided for this.
A database can also be used, for example, if the images themselves are currently inaccessible. This can be the case if you use different drives. As long as the files have already been imported into KIM Keywording, you can edit, search, expand and also export the information.
There are many advantages of a database. Are there any disadvantages? Of course, there are also limitations, for example with regard to the data formats. KIM Keywording only supports JPEG files (as of August 2016). There are two reasons for this: Images that are sold online are almost exclusively available as JPEG files. That is the standard. On the other hand, not all metadata of all data formats can be read out in Filemaker. The self-imposed limitation on JPEG files is therefore a pragmatic approach. KIM Keywording is not intended to replace your previous file browser. As keywording software, KIM Keywording comes into play at a very specific point in your workflow, namely to the image processing and image selection and in front of publication. The effort for high-quality keywording should only be made for the best images.
Think of KIM Keywording as the database for your published images.
