Seriously?

Does it still run a background copy of ArchiCAD for updating pourposes?

Plotmaker has always been able to run without a key. But if you try to import a new file it doesn't You still need a key to import new view sets.

JEFF,
, there was meant to be a question mark; I was interrupted ...

However, I can customize, add, subtract , edit etc. and save. When I went to import, it even puts in the empty frames! I tried importing both from AC 9 example and 8.1 projects. It imports the empty frames which can be moved around on the layout. After a minute it tells you "no protection key".

I was hoping that this was just an error on the demo I have.

How come you get actual drawings? All I got were empty frames?
