Claris Software Transfer Policy for Single-User

This document describes how to transfer a single-user Claris software license. Please note that education versions and iPhone/iPad versions are not transferable. To learn about transferring a Volume License Agreement as the result of a merger, acquisition, outsourcing or entity name change, see the "Software Transfer Policy for Volume License Customers".

If you reside within the United States or Canada, you must complete and return this Single-User Transfer of License Form.

If you reside within Europe, the Middle East, or Asia, you must complete and return this Single-User Transfer of License Form.

Until Claris receives a completed transfer form, the product remains licensed to the individual or company to who it is registered. Once the transfer is complete, the Licensee (Transferor) information will be changed in Claris customer records for the specified product and the Claris software license will be registered under the recipient's (Transferee) name.

If you wish to transfer your software via online auction (e.g. eBay), Claris requires that you complete an Online Auction Transfer Form. You may not post your software on any online auction site without previous written authorization from the Claris legal department. Once the form is reviewed and approved, Claris will notify you. If your software has never been opened, you are required to submit proof of purchase along with your transfer form.

Note: If Claris software is registered multiple times, it may be flagged as counterfeit software. In order to prevent this, the transferee should contact Claris Customer Assistance (800-325-2747) to receive their own personalized license key.

The transfer of a Claris license applies to all versions of a product. For example, if you first license FileMaker 17.0, subsequently upgrade to FileMaker 18.0, and then decide to transfer the license of version 18.0, you must transfer rights to all your versions of FileMaker, up to and including version 18.0. You are not allowed to separately transfer any previously upgraded versions.

As the Transferor of a "single-user" Claris license, you must:

  1. Open and Save the appropriate Transfer Form
  2. Complete the Form in its entirety. A separate transfer form must be submitted for each software license key or proof of purchase.
  3. Review and accept the transfer terms by signing the form and by obtaining the Transferee's signature (if applicable) in order to verify his/her acceptance of the transfer terms.
  4. Return the completed form via fax, mail or email to Claris International Inc.
