VBE and ArchiCAD 14

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is VBe 14 ready? The ArchiCAD download page only mentions 13. Surely something runs on 14 is out there. HELP.

Per my information, VBE for AC14 is in the works and should be released soon.

Just saw that the download of Virtual Building Explorer for AC14 is now posted, along with a message that the licensing method has changed - requiring a Wibu or Codemeter key, rather than the software license manager. So, it sounds like you can longer use a spare computer to do the global illumination calculation while working in ArchiCAD, since all licenses will be on the same key.
The latest release allows direct model export from ArchiCAD 14 into Virtual Building Explorer. This is the first VBE version that is protected with ArchiCAD WIBU and CodeMeter keyplugs, allowing greater flexibility in license administration and management. Virtual Building Explorer for ArchiCAD 14 supports all the operating systems that are compatible with ArchiCAD 14.

Existing users should contact their ArchiCAD reseller for upgrade pricing and policy.
