Frequently Asked Questions Software MacKiev is delighted to be publishing the most widely used and most beloved family tree software of all time. I already own a Software MacKiev edition. Do I need to get FTM 2017?
Q: If I've already purchased a Family Pack Upgrade for a FTM 2014.1 or 3.1, do I need to buy it again for FTM 2017? Family Pack Upgrades purchased for earlier MacKiev editions of Family Tree Maker (FTM 2014.1 and Mac 3.1) are valid for FTM 2017 too.
If you use the features that connect Family Tree Maker to Ancestry, then you will want to upgrade to FTM 2017. That includes syncing, Ancestry hints, and Ancestry search and merge functionality.
No other FTM editions have this functionality. I own an older version of Family Tree Maker. Can I get a discount on an upgrade? You can currently order an upgrade to FTM 2017 for $59.95. For more information, make sure you are on the FTM Mailing List which you can sign up for. Do I need to purchase a new Ancestry.com subscription to use Software MacKiev versions of Family Tree Maker? No, you do not need to purchase a new subscription to Ancestry.com.
