Working with MEP Modeler in Archicad 22

I have been using Archicad 22 INT and I would like to use MEP Modeler. Efforts to get relief form local distributor was not helpful as it requires I update to the current version. Can somebody tell me how to overcome this issue. I have a code meter dogglekey  and the license is current but when trying to use MEP modeler the message appears that the license is not valid. Yet the MEP loads okay in the Archicad 22. What is going on. I would do with some advice. Reagrds

IIRC AC22 did not have MEP Modeler included, if you wanted it you needed to buy it as a separate Add-On. Since AC24 it is included as part of the main program.

You could always load the MEP Library on any version of AC but before 24 you could see the elements but the license was needed to edit them.

At this point you are asking your distributor to "give" you for free an add-on for a 4 year old version of the software which they don't sell anymore.

IMO you distributor is correct that the only way to get MEP is to upgrade.
