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

So... How download installers for Archicad 17 and older versions the software?

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
i7-10700 @ 2.9Ghz, 32GB ram, GeForce RTX 2060 (6GB), 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.

Barry,

I'm trying to open an archicad 15 file in 28....my archicad 28 is telling me it only opens to 17.  how do I migrate this old drawing?

Hi,

You can open your AC 15 file with any version between 17 and 26. Save and open with AC 28 then.

Thanks for your reply Nurbs...my problem is I don't have anything between 15 and 28.  any ideas?

You can download and install AC 26. Your license should be able to open this ( if you have a cloud license you have to install the latest update as well). With this version you can open the AC 15 file and save as AC 26. Then open it in AC 28.
