Cloud Licensing and GDL

Ben Cohen — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:58:34 GMT

Hi All

Anyone have information on the new cloud licensing system for v27?

Will GDL get access to the license number so 3 party tools can work with the ArchiCAD license ?

I have had my first user come to me with a cloud license and AFAIK it will not work with GDL or even the API ?

Hey Ben,

I know this is not a GDL post, but does this offer any useful information.

Hi Barry

That page is very useful, I just noticed it after my post..

So the API is getting access to the cloud licenses - which is great.

But the question still stands.. will GDL be getting access as well ?

Maybe Akos can chime in?!

FYI The whole cloud licensing system appears to be great... GDL developers just need some love

Hi Ben,

Yes, GDL access is planned too, the same userID and organization IDs will be available as with the API.

For Archicad 26 and 27, an update will be released later this year.

Hi Peter

Is there any update on this?

We must be getting closer to an update for 26 and 27?

In AC26 update already went out, in AC27 the next one if I am not mistaken.

FYI.. There has been further information posted here, for the API..

Plus there are examples in the v28 dev kit

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Developer-Insights/Introducing-new-user-identification-to-the-API-of-Archicad-26/ba-p/588853

and if you get the 28 tech preview.. the GDL reference guide has this new request

GSID_INFO

n = REQUEST("GSID_INFO", "", userId, organizationIds)

Returns, in the given variables, information (as string expressions) on the currently logged-in user. The function return value is the number of successfully retrieved values, or 0 if an error occurred.

userId: unique user Id of the currently logged-in user. Always retrieved if there is a logged-in user. organizationIds: organization Id strings array, can be empty.
Expression returns 0 and contains dummy return values (empty strings) if used in parameter script, creating an additional warning.
