I'm finding the license update to be a little half-baked - although it was posted that the US licenses would not be completed until the end of day today...

 

Running License Manager tells me that there are no updates to my AC 27 Codemeter (USB) license.  But, launching AC 27 and clicking the "..." in the License dialog for updates tells me this:

Sounds promising... although it is unclear if the message means restarting Archicad or restarting the computer...

 

So, I launched AC 28 after seeing the above, did a new from template and got this:

That's more promising than yesterday when my only option was Demo mode... at least some part of something thinks there's an update to my license... so I click Continue... and get this:

Continue launches the License Manager tool that I started out with ... which tells me that I have no updates.  So, it seems that there is more than one place where a client's SSA/update status is stored and the in-product license check looks at one place, but the real update looks elsewhere.  But, hey, people on subscription won't ever have this issue 🙄 😂

Not making me feel great when I just bought a new Perpetual License in March of 2024; and of course in April they begin to start "boiling the frog" with a trickle of news about future "subscription only".

 

Kind of makes me feel like the 20% off a perpetual license offer" that the had going was a fishing trip for suckers, and I guess I was a sucker. At least I didn't finance it through Graphisoft.

There will be a price netting of what you payed  your perpetual license if you decide to go to subscription.

Hi,

is the "No license found for Archicad 28" an issue or should we wait the "license release" from Graphisoft.

When will be released for Greece and Cyprus region please?

In Greece, license with my codemeter worked yesterday and now it is again deactivated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was informed from the local reseller that in Greece the licenses will be activated by the end of October!!!!!

 

So my first post unfortunately came true. "It happened as last year".

Hi,

I purchased my license from Greece, but I use the International version of Archicad.

How can I check which license I have and how can I change it to international if necessary?

You probably have a GRE license, but that may let you run the INT version as well.

I have AUS license but can also run INT.

If so you will have to wait a little longer as you would every year.

As mentioned.contact your local reseller and they may be able to tell you when it is expected.
