ArchiCAD licenses are protected by a key that usually plugs in to a USB socket.

The key looks like a flash memory module.

Sometimes, to fix the problem, you just jiggle your key, and sometimes, you need to update your key software driver.

Sometimes, you should also buy an ArchiCAD license, so that you get your protection key ...

That's not fair: incompetence before malice.

Life may be fair, but it is almost ALWAYS incompetence before malice.

Nothing is "fool proof" due to the high quality of fools. The bext we can hope for is "fool resistant."

To quote Murphy's Law:

If something is idiot proof, not even an idiot will use it.

Did you know Murphy's Law wasn't actually written by Murphy? It was someone else with the same name.

Yep The books are not written by the actual author(s), they are compilations.

Yet, I find most of it true daily 😉
