It defines the license. Look in the box.<BR /> <BR /> There is a special software driver called WIBU Key that communicates with the key. It is normally installed with ArchiCAD automatically. Perhaps you need to update this driver by visiting WIBU's web site.<BR /> <BR /> In no time you will have ArchiCAD going and then you will be ready to really launch ArchiCAD ... off the roof.<BR /> <BR /> Good luck.
