About Bento

Bento is a database application that helps you manage and track the information

that is important to you. Bento makes it easy to search, sort, and organize your

information. Use Bento to organize contacts and customers, track your projects,

plan company events and meetings, manage lists, and much more.

Installing Bento

If you have an earlier version of Bento installed, rename the application (for

example, BentoOld) or move it to the Desktop before you install Bento 4.

To install Bento:

1 Insert the installation CD. (If you purchased Bento electronically from the

FileMaker Store or from the Mac App Store, skip this step.)

2 Double-click the CD or disk image.

3 Drag the Bento icon to the Applications folder icon. Bento is installed in the

Applications folder.

4 Double-click the Bento icon in the Applications folder to start Bento.

5 Follow the onscreen instructions.

Upgrading a Previous Version to Bento 4

When you launch Bento 4 for the first time, it renames your Bento 1, Bento 2, or

Bento 3 database and then creates a new database based upon your existing

database. If you need to use Bento 1, Bento 2, or Bento 3 again, see “Reverting to a

Previous Version of Bento” in Bento Help.
