ArchiCAD 27 Installation (USA Version)

I downloaded the ArchiCAD 27 installer for USA and installed. However, after launching I was presented with a notice that I had no license. I went to the License Manager Tool to update the key, however, no update was available. After calling tech support it turns out the USA "official" release isn't until next week.

 

So you CAN download, install and run... but all in demo more for the next week.

 

Just a heads up!

Using a software key, the LMT just stated it was a 27 key. No action required. But yeah, no clue as to why we had to wait til today. The only explanation I would accept is that they wanted to stagger release dates to account for tech support issues. But, I can't imagine there would be much.

I also have software key and it still says no license and to launch License Manager, which I do, I log in, it shows my license on this key is up to date and that I have Archicad Full USA Subscription Commercial License, it does not say anything about version.

FYI, I sent in a support request, "license delivery team" is looking into it. They did give me a 7-day emergency license in the meantime.
