Valid license should be able to run ANY global version of Archicad

Wish:  any valid license should be able to run any version of Archicad localized to any country world-wide.   Professional/Professional, EDU/EDU, etc.

 

It is a historic artifact that Archicad is hard-coded in each global language for which it is available - vs letting the user choose the language interface at will like other software.  It is also a historic pre-global-marketplace artifact that each country specific version has version-specific content delivered by the country's distributor.  None of that is the customer's concern... but were all business decisions by Graphisoft.

 

This wish is so that global workers in a global economy can use whatever version of Archicad the team with which they are working is using.   If I work with a company in Finland (and speak the language), I should be able to download and run FIN.  If Spain, SPA.  Etc.  And, absolutely every license, cloud or physical, should be able to run INT.

I would like to add the following:

1. Sometimes international clients do buy a license from a different country, and if I have to check something related to their local license compared to their bought license, Graphisoft, we have a problem!

2. Sometime workers (regardless of their positional designation) to do work for non local companies, and they simply would like to use the program in their native language, (if it's already available of course).

3. And about AC Goodies, just don't let me get started
