FileMaker Pro 16: Powerful Database Management for Mac

• Error downloading the software: Check your internet connection and try downloading the software again.
• Installation failed: Check that your Mac meets the system requirements and try installing the software again.
• License information not accepted: Check that you have entered your license information correctly and try again.

• No TLS 1.3 Support: Version 16 only supports TLS 1.0 and 1.1 (and partially 1.2). Most modern web servers require TLS 1.3. This means inserting data from web viewers or using Insert from URL will fail on HTTPS sites.
• Outdated OpenSSL: The embedded OpenSSL libraries have known CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) that allow remote code execution if you host databases over the internet.
• No M1/M2 Optimization: Performance on modern Apple hardware will be sluggish. Database sorts that take 3 seconds on FileMaker 21 will take 15 seconds on v16 via Rosetta.
• macOS Permission Model: Version 16 does not understand modern macOS permissions (files, camera, microphone). You will experience constant permission pop-ups or silent failures when trying to attach photos or scan documents.

• Supported Operating Systems: FileMaker Pro 16 was designed for macOS Sierra 10.12 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.
• Hardware: It required a 64-bit Intel processor.
• Modern Compatibility: With the transition to Apple Silicon (M1, M2, and M3 chips) and newer macOS versions (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma), FileMaker Pro 16 is considered legacy software. It may run on newer Intel Macs via Rosetta 2 or in compatibility mode, but it is not optimized for Apple Silicon. Furthermore, newer macOS security protocols may block the installation of unsigned legacy software.
