Key not Found Windows 7

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 10:14:53 GMT

I installed ArchiCAD 10 on a new Windows 7 computer. I was able to get it to install by loading Java 6.21, but it gave me an error saying the wibu driver was not loaded because it was not signed. I downloaded and installed the new driver from the ArchiCAD website, but when I open AchiCAD I get an error saying "Protection key not found or not valid (1050017). The key works fine on the older computer. Is there something else I can to do to get it to work?

Are you sure that you installed the correct choice of 32 bit or 64 bit driver, based on your version of Windows 7?

Is your Wibu key a Codemeter key, or the original colored plastic Wibukey? If Codemeter, see the Enabler download at the bottom of the page:

Is your Win 7 machine an Itanium one? if so, see the note on that same page for the special drivers here:

I got it straightened out. Windows needed some updates. I installed them and it is working fine now.

Thanks you.

Great. Hopefully your experience will help someone else in the same spot who reads this.
