Archicad for 32 bit Windows XP

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to get a copy of Archicad that will run on 32 bit Windows XP on a student / academic license. Is this possible? I've contacted student support but they're hopeless...they haven't even replied to me

I doubt you can still get AchiCAD16 as a student license. It's over 4 year old software.

ArchiCAD17 onwards is 64 bit only.

It may also be a good idea to switch to a more modern operating system (and a 64-bit at that, since ARCHICAD is now 64-bit only).
Windows XP is 15 years old, which is a very old age for an operating system.
Also, Microsoft has ceased support for Windows XP last year so it does not issue patches for it. This means that your system is much more vulnerable to viruses.
