When I opened archive page with info about old versions Archicad

https://graphisoft.com/downloads/archive

I opened info about Archicad 17 and see

"

Note: All the downloads specific to your language version of Archicad can be found under Archicad’s Help Menu / Archicad 17 Downloads

"

 

Then I opened download page

https://graphisoft.com/resources-and-support/downloads

And see that minimum availabe for download version Archicad is version 18

Why do you need an older version?

Do you have to work in that version, or is it just to open an old file.

 

Current versions can open any file back to version 10.

If you need to access files older than 10, there are file converters that can do that.

 

Pre version 17, the software was distributed on discs and not digitally.

Versions 6.5 to 27
Dell XPS- i7-6700 @ 3.4Ghz, 16GB ram, GeForce GTX 960 (2GB), Windows 10
Lenovo Thinkpad - i7-1270P 2.20 GHz, 32GB RAM, Nvidia T550, Windows 11

If you need to access much older files for archive purposes then go here:

As Barry said, all current versions will open any file from Archicad 10 onwards.
