AC10 key not reconigized for AC9 on Intel

Anonymous

I previously had AC10 installed on my PPC G5 machine and have recently upgraded to a new intel Mac Pro. I have downloaded and installed the new intel version of AC10, that runs fine; but now when I launch AC9 it does not recognize the key. Is there an Wibu update to make the intel AC10 key allow you to also run AC9 under Rosetta?

There is a WIBU update that allows AC 9 OR AC 10 to run on the Mactel (it's what I do), but they cannot run at the same time. I don't have the URL handy. If you google WIBU it is easy to find.

From another post where I reported the same problem:

This was posted on Fri Sep 01, 2006, doesn't look like there is a fix yet.

I haven't been able to find the driver Matthew mentioned, so I'm stuck using the PPC V10 along with V9 - I think that's your only option at the moment.

The correct installer is version 5.10b for PPC & Intel

I hope it can run both versions. Unfortunately it seems Graphisoft are not even confident that the problem will be solved - from ArchicadWiki:

Graphisoft will post it to: http://www.graphisoft.com/support/archicad/downloads/WIBU.html if it is fixed.
"IF" it is fixed??? Lets hope that's a typo.

They cannot run simultaneously. You have to close one to run the other.
I fortunately only need to run AC 9 rarely, so it's not too much trouble for me.
