It seems to me that FM should work on system 7, even the version you 
have.  Do you have the CLARIS folder in the right place?  

When I upgraded, I called Claris, and they send me upgrades for both
MWII and FMP, and I wasn't even registered in their databases, although
I did send in my cards.. (Which brings up my ONLY gripe about claris...)
I didn't even have the serial number to FMP, but I did for MWII, so
they sent me new versions.  You should just call customer service, tell
them you recently upgraded to sys7, and that you need the latest 
version.  They should be very helpful, if my experience is any indicator
