Hello, I was asked to help an associate with ArchiCAD 19 activation (student version).
The issue I encountered had to do with detecting Java. I enter the e-mail and serial number in activation prompt, click activate only to find out that ArchiCAD fails to detect Java.
Thus far, I have tried: -different versions of JRE, both the "suggested" 8u45 as well as newer ones, both x86 and x86-64 arch-s -manually point PATH environment variables to java/bin/java.exe -run the activation command from command prompt (thank you UAC for the command)
I know for a fact that Java is functional - file associations in shell appear, browsers run applets and so forth.
OS is Win10 64-bit.
Has anyone ever figured this one out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When I have encountered problems with Java and Archicad before I have found that removing all versions of java except the one recommended for that version of Archicad seems to work.
You can always upgrade Java again after the installation/activation.
