Fix Archicad Installer (Windows & Mac)

I would like to see the following done with Archicad Installer by Graphisoft:

 

1. A multi-lingual installer for Archicad, I sometime have to attend users who are from one country, that are in a second country, working in a third country and the license is stupidly preventing the user from choosing the language that he is most comfortable using.

 

1. Allow any purchased (or subscribed) license to run any language version of Archicad.

Edited by moderator to clarify wish.

 

2. The installer would give me the chance to choose or change the programs installation folder if the program of the same version is already installed. You have no idea how useful this option is when trouble shooting.

1. The installer is in the language of the version the license that you purchase, German, French, English, etc.

Are you actually asking that regardless of the language version you purchase, you would like the ability to instal and run any language version?

(you can install any language version, you may just not be able to run it).

 

2. Already possible.

When you install you can direct the installer to any folder location that you want.

That way you can have multiple language versions installed (you may not be able to run them as mentioned above), as well as multiple build numbers for each version (you can have Archicad 27 build 3000, 4000 and 5000 all installed separately if you want to).

1. Extactly that is what I´m asking for. To install and run Archicad in any language I want regardless any user want. On the other side, whether or not the there are thing available to one specific language due to the license specifics, that is another issue that simply is not in any of my priorities.

 

2. Try that when you have already installed Archicad in its default folder location, and out of the blue you need the same version of the same language, purchased from the same location but with a different build.

OK, I will change status back to 'Open', but I will edit and clarify your number 1 wish.

 

As for number 2, all I can say is that I have an AUS license (but it is a hardware key).

That allows me to install and run any English language version , INT USA, UKI, etc.

Which I have dome in the past even though my default install is AUS.

I also installed the FRA version once in a separate folder, although my license would not allow me to run it.

I also heard somewhere that the cloud licenses will only allow you to run the language version they were purchased for so may not be as flexible as a hardware or software license.
