AC13 : wibu key

[Anonymous]

With AC13 installation I've found older versions 7, 8.1 and 9 no longer working (demo mode). AC10 PPC version is not affected.
Should I re-install the wibu software from the AC12 cd or wait for an updated wibu driver?
Thanks

I can confirm that I cannot run AC 9 with the new, Snow Leopard compatible WIBU driver (5.3) - only AC 10 through 13. So, same thing you see - which does not agree with the information posted here:

I do not know if this is only a Mac / Snow Leopard issue - have not installed on my PC. Anybody running 13 on Windows able to launch 9 or earlier?

Hi Karl and Joeri,
AC9 runs fine here on my MBP 17" Unibody with the specific SL driver. One thing you have to do is add the WkMAC.LIB as instructed on the download page. AC9 will not run without it.
And as a bonus, MaxonForm runs fine too 😉

Cheers

Thank you both. The WkMAC.LIB file works. Anyhow, I'm not on Snow Leopard yet

Thanks, François. Feel slightly the idiot since I posted the link to the page but did not read the new entry for that WkMAC.LIB. Yes, AC 9 now runs for me. 😉

AC 7 will not run (the downloaded dmg from GS that they posted for doing version conversion) "Application Launch Failure: The application "ArchiCAD" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "<ArchiCAD 7.0 v3 FULL><ArchiCAD Resources 1 for 7.0 v3><><>".

Looks like AC 9 is good enough to read the oldest files I have - can read back to 5.0:

The original AC7 v3 does work except of some add-on missing warning...

I resolved this issue. AC 9 ran fine just opening the downloaded dmg. So, I just assumed that AC 7 would be the same. But, not so. If I copy the dmg contents to the Applications folder, then AC 7 runs fine.
