upgrading add-ons

Will our existing add-ons work with Archicad 10? I've got most of CadImage's programs, plus about 4 from Cigrapgh. Having 2 copies of everything could make the upgrade quite expensive.

All add-ons must be recompiled in Archicad 10. Whether you have to pay for them or not is up to the vendor.

I'm not so sure you have the wrong idea, Stefan. It's really a pain to have to even try to keep track of the upgrades, never mind buy and download and install them all, especially since I do so few projects in any given year.

Alas, that hasn't seemed to have stopped me <g>.

Campbell Yule of Cadimage told us on a recent visit to Los Angeles that for their add-ons you only have to pay for upgrades every other archicad upgrade.

So if you purchased an add-on while in AC8, then for AC10 you will need to pay for an upgrade.

If you bought in in AC9, then for AC10 will be no upgrade fee.

Upgrading Encina's add-ons to AC10 will be free. Existing registration codes will simply continue to work as before.
