Opening Archicad 16 files in latest version

I'm needing to open a file that was originally created in Archicad 16. I've read the most common method is to open the file in Archicad 26 and save it there, but unfortunately every time I open the file, it'll tell me that I do not have a license to open it.
Other people in my office have tried it as well and have received the same warning.....

Is there an alternative solution to update the older file to open on the current version?

That is a weird error. Screenshot?

Just a wild guess that the file might contain information from a plugin that you don't have installed.

You can try to Download AC18 and try to open it.
