Prokit Core not installing with collaboration subscription.

[zoli79]

Same here with my HUN Collaborate subscription. I even tested it. Install goes through and when I'd like to use one of the tools I get this.

 

It is very "strange" (massive understatement there) that in some countries a basic subscription is enough and in some others you need the overpriced MAX, that didn't even exist up until now.

I just installed it although I do have an AUS license.

On the Graphisoft website I am sure it did say Prokit was available to collaboration and collaboration max subscriptions world wide.

I just can't access the website at the moment - seems broken - bad gateway error.

Hi Zoltán,

Transformer is part of ProKit Core, which is not available in Hungary at the moment. ProKit Core features are only available on the following markets:

• Austria (GER)
• Australia (INT)
• Belgium (FRA)
• Denmark (INT)
• Finnland (INT)
• France (FRA)
• Germany (GER)
• Netherlands (INT)
• New-Zealand (INT)
• Norway (INT)
• Sweden (INT)
• Switzerland (FRA only)

ProKit Suite, however is availabe for all Collaborate license holders.

You can read more about it here: https://www.graphisoft.com/downloads/add-ons/prokit/#ArchicadProKitSuite and https://support.graphisoft.com/hc/en-us/articles/51633416621073-Introducing-Archicad-ProKit 

Kind regards,
Noémi

Can you elaborate more on  "at the moment" phrase.

Are there any plans for availability everywhere because I find it hard to explain why this "core" thing was introduced??

[zoli79]

I'm a bit puzzled. There were about a half-dozen comments before mine. Now it looks like as if my comment was the original in thread. Were they deleted or I am just lame and can't see them?

edit:

here it is: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/General-discussions/Paying-for-Collaborate-getting-less-and-now-...

I am pretty sure I was replying to that thread and not starting a new one.

Sometime moderators split threads when there is a new topic introduced in a thread so distinct topics have their own threads. I assume something like this happened here as well.

[Barry Kelly]

Yes that is correct.

I split the text as installing the Prokit seemed not to relate to the topic of 'Paying for collaborate and getting less'.

I felt the installation of Prokit deserved a separate thread.

It was never a part of any subscription until now so we are not getting less.

@zoli79 , you should have received a notification e-mail (unless that is not working).

And there should be a re-direct link in the original post - although I am still seeing your original post which I obviously moved to this thread.

Ahh, so Prokit Core is separate to Prokit Suite.

I was assuming that the Suite would contain everything including the Core features, but I am obviously incorrect and should read the descriptions better.

Logic to me would say the the "Core" Prokit would be available to all users in all languages and all subscriptions, as it is the "Core" features.

The "Suite" would then be extras that would be available to collaboration and max subscriptions.

I am not sure why the Core is subject to specific language versions but the Suite is not, but I assume there is a good reason why.

I can understand why there would be specific language version available to only those regions, but shouldn't the INT version work for all regions as it does with the Suite?

Makes me thing GS does not actually own the IP for the "Core" libraries, and hence are required to follow whatever licencing the IP holder/s want. It being "at the moment" suggests some timeframe for this whether that be some agreement expiring or the elements being rebuilt. Suite is just a rebrand of the CI tools right, which they completely bought out? While Core is new / from somewhere else?

No, the core features are all Ci tools as well.
