Requirements
All of the details about which functions of the plugin work on which platform is on the compatibility page.
The current version of the plugin requires FileMaker Pro version 11 or later, due to the use of its new SQL API. There is an older version of the plugin ( version 1.1.0 ) that still uses the old API and will work on FMP 10. You can download a copy of 1.1.0 for Mac or Windows.
The current release of the plugin is 64 bit, so will run under FileMaker Server, FileMaker Pro 64 bit, FileMaker Cloud and iOS with the SDK.
Version 3.0.x was the last release to run under Windows XP. You can download a version of 3.0.1 32bit here.
