product keys listed in the following order:
FileMaker Pro Client

As follows:
*******************************************************************
This is your license info for FileMaker Pro.

For tar files, use the following command to extract them:

You can download the installers from:
----------------

As you can see, the FMP Unlimited comes after the FMP Server, and
states:
**FileMaker 5.5 Unlimited Installer**
Installation Code: 1-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(same installer, different installation code)
So I naturally assumed it meant the 'Same installer as FMP Server',
which DOES have an RPM. Without looking at the filenames (as they say,
read the instructions!) I just installed AND REGISTERED FMP Server with
the FMP Unlimited License key.... which WORKS btw!
I think you MAC guys just assume that everyone else understands the
Bizarre way (and it IS bizarre) that FMP is both licensed and
distributed.
