Hello,
I used to have archicad 25 student trial version with which I created a file for a little trial project. My trial expired and now I can't open this file in any way - even just to view it. I asked for an extension of the trial as I am still a student but I haven't heard back from Graphisoft. I also downloaded the archicad 26 trial version in the hopes that I'll be able to open the file but still doesn't allow me to open the file... How can I open this file????????!!!

OK, I am still a student and I cannot buy the software. I've applied for extension of the educational license but have not heard back - do you know of any way I can speed up the process as I need to access the file ASAP?

You need to check in myarchicad.com that is were the serial number will show up.
EDU licenses review usually take from 1-3 days.
If nothing shows up then you can use the email in "Get in Touch" in myarchicad.com to send a message.

See answer below.
You will not have access to the file done with the Trial version since the only way to open it is with a "NEW" Commercial version of AC.

Myarchicad says its still processing - see below (it's been 5days now). I guess I need to get on an international call to reach out to them as there is no local archicad contact...
Thank you

Under your profile you will find that you have requested a license for Archicad 25 International version and have an approved 1 year educational license.
