Since I can't go back a save my file at ver 17 which was the note I received to open the file, how can now open my files in version 16? please help

Based on this document you should be able to open it in 26. Re-Save it and then open it in 27.

Thank you! Right now I only have a trial version of Archicad 27, I'll ask if they can supply me with version 26, thanks again!

Just download it from the Graphisoft web site ... https://graphisoft.com/resources-and-support/downloads?section=product&localization=INT&product=arch...

Make sure you choose the language version and operating system version that you want.

Take in consideration that ALL of the work done on a TRIAL version WILL be LOST since based on the trail agreement you will need to buy a license at the end of the trial period to remove the trial DRM,

If you uninstall the TRIAL version there is no way to recover the file.

If you don't buy after the TRIAL ends the file is permanently lost.

You CANNOT open a file created in a TRAIL version on any other AC version.
