In order to write scripts for the Server plug-in to use, you must install the client plug-in in FMP on at least one computer. FileMaker Server plug-ins simply give the Server the functionality of the plug-in and does not replace the plug-in on the FMP client computers. This is not a restriction we added, but simply a result of how the FileMaker Server (FMS) works. If you have FMP client users that need to directly use the plug-in, the normal client plug-in must be installed on each FMP computer. The Server Plug-in does not bypass the need to install the plug-in on your FileMaker Pro (FMP) client computers. What are the limitations of the Server Plug-in? The Server Edition of the plug-in allows you to install the plug-in on your FileMaker Pro Server and use it with Server Scheduled Scripts (FileMaker Server 9+) and FileMaker Server Web Publishing (including custom/instant web publishing, and WebDirect). What functionality does the Server Plug-in provide?

If FileMaker Server is supported on an Operating System, the plug-in will generally also support it. The plug-in is simply an extension of FileMaker, because of this, the plug-in will only work on Operating Systems that FileMaker Server supports. For example, FileMaker Server 13 has a limit of up to 50 simultaneous users for WebDirect. The only limit of users is what FileMaker Server Advanced limits itself. The Server plug-in is unlimited in regards to web users. Is there a limit on web user access to the Server plug-in?
