Where is 4D Client?

With the release of 4D Server v11 SQL, "4D Client" is included in the 4D application. 4D Client, as an executable, is no longer installed on your machine.

To connect to 4D Server, launch 4D and follow the instructions in the new Wizard, or simply choose Open Remote Database... from the File menu.

Do 4D Client licenses still exist?

Yes. Even though 4D Client isn't a physical product anymore, the means of selling and licensing 4D Client expansions has not changed. You still have two client licenses included with 4D Server or 4D Team Developer Professional. You can purchase 1-, 5-, or 10- user 4D Client expansions for 4D Server v11 SQL to increase your number of concurrent users. 4D Client licenses reside on and are counted from the server.

Can I attach a 4D Client license to 4D Team Developer Professional?

No. 4D Team Developer Professional, as a server-based development license, only accepts 4D Team Developer Expansion licenses to increase the number of concurrent users, in addition to the two clients provided by default.

If you have 4D Server Developer 2004 as well as 4D Client Expansion 2004, and would like to upgrade to 4D Team Developer Professional v11 SQL, please contact your 4D representative.

Where can I find 4D Interpreted Desktop?

4D Interpreted Desktop is no longer provided as a separate executable.

However, the free deployment license for 4D Interpreted Desktop is still provided with all our development products.

To freely distribute your application in interpreted mode, distribute your 4D application (the same one that you use for development) along with your 4D database. Your end-users can use the application without a 4D product number

How exactly does the SQL Unlimited license work?

The SQL Unlimited expansion is installed on 4D Server, allowing it to accept multiple SQL connections from third-party applications, without using up your 4D Client licenses.

The only limit is the physical capacity of your machine to effectively handle multiple SQL processes, based on the number and power of its processors.

The SQL Unlimited Expansion license is sold for servers with up to two processor cores. For more powerful servers, you can buy additional licenses corresponding to the number of processor cores on your machine.

Is 4D v11 SQL certified for Windows 2008 Server?

We are currently in the certification process. The next update(4D v11 SQL Release 3) will be certified for Windows 2008 Server.
