where on the Graphisoft website can I download and install the AC20 library and the AC21 library?

I'm in need of creating PLAs and sometimes the PLAs wont save everything...so.

I don't think you can download just the libraries for each version.
I am pretty sure you have to download and install each Archicad version to access the library.
So if you already have them installed then you already have those libraries in each of the installation folders.

We have saved a copy of each of the AC libraries that we have used to a shared drive so if need be we have them on hand even after uninstalling old versions.

It is quite platform independent:
go to the folder where the AC version You want library to backup is installed
on pc it is by default in Program Files\Graphisoft\
and just copy the "Archicad Library XX" folder to Your safe location... just that.

PS I usually backup the whole AC folders (especially when there is an update - just to be able to step back without installing if the update is a lemon)
