Valid license required to run AI visualizer? (I assume I have it)

[Martin Jan Rosa]

I am an Archicad user with a perpetual license and an SSA contract with a local vendor, and I have access to all updates. However, when I run AI Visualizer in Archicad 28 I get a message that I need a valid Archicad license to use it.

I tracked down the information that AI Visualizer is only for Collaborate and Edu license holders. So am I to understand that if I have a license that I previously believed provided me with full use of Archicad with all its features (and I consider the AI Visualizer, which is now part of its standard installation, to be such a feature), that I can now expect to be gradually cut back on various features, only to be forced to switch to another licensing method?

I and many others do not want to switch to the subscription either.

For me at the moment, the AI Visualiser is just a waste of time.

Pretty pictures but there is no model generated.

Just my opinion though.

But I am sure there will be more (better) AI and other new features only available to subscription in the future.

I guess then it will be up to each of us to decide if we want the subscription and all of its benefits, or stick with what we have got with our perpetual license.

I assume this is what Graphisoft wants to entice us to switch over.
