WibuKey compatibility
Products supported: ArchiCAD 6.0 and upwards, MEP Modeler, EcoDesigner
WibuKey was introduced with ArchiCAD 7.0, however the ArchiCAD 7.0 CD contained a special version of Archicad 6.0 (r5/v5), Archicad 6.5 (r4/v4), which runs with WIBU key. The WibuKey licenses are backward compatible, meaning that with an ArchiCAD 13 license you can run anything from ArchiCAD 6.0r5 to ArchiCAD 13.
With a single key, you can run as many ArchiCAD copies (any version of it) on the same computer as you like. If you are connected to a NET Key, running multiple copies of the same ArchiCAD version uses one license. Running copies of different ArchiCAD versions may use one or more licenses from the Key Server, depending on the protection "version group" of ArchiCAD. These ArchiCADs belong to the same version group:
* ArchiCAD 6.0; 6.5; 7.0
* ArchiCAD 8; 8.1; 9; 10; 11; 12
* ArchiCAD 13
This means that if you run ArchiCAD 10, 11 and 12 simultaneously, it will use only one license from the NET key. However, if you run ArchiCAD 7.0, 12 and 13 simultaneously, it will use three licenses from the KEY Server
