AC prokit suite - INT vs USA

[Patrick M]

is this going to install on the US build of AC? going to test it out, but wondering if I need to make a bigger switch...

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

**disregard. I forgot about the added convenience of user end maintenance and management that is the .libpack system...

[Funfun Yan]

yes, You should load those lipacks.😀

Somethings very wrong with the ProKit. It looks like nobody checked the contents, since it still references Cadimage everywhere (which has not been in use for years now). How does this even happen?

Also only Subscription people have access – folks who are still on the old Forward / Service agreement contracts are left out...

I understand this, and I'm not surprised, but I'm still very disappointed.

Here's the dialog I get.

All of these buttons go to Cadimage/Central Innovation (??????).

And chef's kiss: Clicking on "Do not activate" will crash AC (AC30-2026-10-10-19-30-46-2611).

CI was just acquired by Graphisoft, so you might notice that the help documentation seem to have just migrated to Zendesk, while licensing is likely still on the old server. Like I said, big corporations lack the innovation of smaller companies—if they can't beat them, they just buy them out. It reminds me of “Cabinet” to “Keynotes”, and even the ability to rotate elements and components 90 degrees. Haha.

Hi - yeah, we're still relatively early on in the process of rebranding all our Cadimage/CI Tools software to ProKit. If you don't have a license for the ProKit Tools included with your Archicad subscription, then the Activation falls back to our 'old' Ci Tools licensing system, which is what you are seeing there.

The website and logins for that are currently still called 'MyCi', which is why you are still seeing CI references in there. We'll eventually get those all switched over, but we thought it was better to get the tools to people sooner than it was to hold everything up to wait on fully renaming every part - apologies for any confusion that might be causing!

With regards to the crash when you click 'Don't Activate', we haven't seen anything like that as yet, but I'm keen to investigate what might be going on there - @runxel could i contact you directly to find out some more details?

Does this mean the old CI standalone licencing for the tools will remain? ie. Available for those not on a Collaborate Subscription

Absolutely, all the time. I could not reproduce it though yet. So it seems to be at least sporadic.
