Running existing PC Archicad in Apple Boot Camp

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 18:32:31 GMT

This might seem like a newbie questions but I'm considering purchasing an Apple MacBook Pro. I'm curious how well an EXISTING Archicad 7 can run in Boot Camp with a new MacBook Pro. Any advice or experience?

Your other questions here asked about running AC 10.

Running AC 7 should be no problem either, depending on what protection key you have. The WIBU key can run back to 6 without a problem. A CodeMeter key can only run 10 and above:

However... there is actually a special version of 7 that can run with CodeMeter. Graphisoft tech support can help you if that is your case. Other than converting old files, I cannot imagine why one would want to run version 7?
