Based on this document you should be able to open it in 26. Re-Save it and then open it in 27.

Just download it from the Graphisoft web site ... https://graphisoft.com/resources-and-support/downloads?section=product&localization=INT&product=archicad&type=FULL&version=26&platform=windows

Make sure you choose the language version and operating system version that you want.

Barry.

Take in consideration that ALL of the work done on a TRIAL version WILL be LOST since based on the trail agreement you will need to buy a license at the end of the trial period to remove the trial DRM,

If you uninstall the TRIAL version there is no way to recover the file.

If you don't buy after the TRIAL ends the file is permanently lost.

You CANNOT open a file created in a TRAIL version on any other AC version.
