I believe you will need to install AC 9, and do a save there to open in 12. I started AC in version 8, but I know I can open my version 9 files just fine in 12. (don't have any version 8 files to test) Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:34:53 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCAD-7-to-ArchiCAD-12/m-p/184263#M21947 Anonymous 2008-10-10T19:34:53Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCAD-7-to-ArchiCAD-12/m-p/184264#M21948 Under the Help menu, you'll find a PDF document called "02 AC 12 Getting Started.pdf".<BR /> <BR /> See pages 23 through 48.<BR /> <BR /> Also, see this Wiki article:<BR /> <A href="http://www.archicadwiki.com/TechNotes/Conversion%20of%20old%20ArchiCAD%20project%20files%20into%20ArchiCAD%209" target="_blank"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.archicadwiki.com/TechNotes/C ... chiCAD%209">http://www.archicadwiki.com/TechNotes/Conversion%20of%20old%20ArchiCAD%20project%20files%20into%20ArchiCAD%209</LINK_TEXT></A><BR /> <BR /> Karl Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:53:20 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCAD-7-to-ArchiCAD-12/m-p/184264#M21948 Karl Ottenstein 2008-10-10T20:53:20Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCAD-7-to-ArchiCAD-12/m-p/184265#M21949 Thank you guys...but I didn't succeed. I don't have AC9, or any other beside of 7 and 12. I couldn't even open the pdf file, something is wrong with Acrobat... It's not my day. I need Acrobat and AC9, then I will try again...<BR /> Thanks, and sorry for my English.

Your WIBU key (assuming you have the commercial license) works with all earlier versions.<BR /> <BR /> GS was going to upload 9 onto the Wiki to make it easier for people with exactly this problem - but it is not there yet, only the various versions of 12. So, unless someone here has a download link from somewhere else, you'll have to contact your distributor / reseller.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Karl Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:52:50 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCAD-7-to-ArchiCAD-12/m-p/184266#M21950 Karl Ottenstein 2008-10-10T22:52:50Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCAD-7-to-ArchiCAD-12/m-p/184267#M21951 <BLOCKQUOTE>Karl wrote:<BR />GS was going to upload 9 onto the Wiki to make it easier for people with exactly this problem - but it is not there yet, only the various versions of 12.
