Updates
Updates
To check for available updates of your localized version of ArchiCAD or ArchiCAD libraries, start ArchiCAD 14 and go to the Help menu: The Check for Updates command will open your internet browser and will guide you to the GRAPHISOFT update website. If there is no new update patch (hotfix) available for your release and language version of ArchiCAD, the web page will inform you that you are using an up-to-date version of ArchiCAD. If there is a new update patch available, the web page will automatically offer you the updater package that fits your current ArchiCAD installation. You can choose to run the Check for Updates function automatically on a regular basis by setting the options at Options > Work Environment > Web Options. Note: If you have an updater patch installed and use the Add/ Repair function of your original ArchiCAD 14 Installer DVD, you will be prompted to re-apply the updates after the modification or repair is carried out. The ArchiCAD update option is available to holders of the commercial or educational ArchiCAD 14 license. You can find other downloadable materials (example files, goodies etc.) at www.graphisoft.com/support/archicad/downloads.

Licenses
Licenses
There are three types of ArchiCAD licenses: Commercial, Educational and Trial. A Demo version is also available. If you have a Commercial License, your package includes a hardware protection key (dongle) for ArchiCAD. If you have an Educational or Trial License, you have received a Serial Number for ArchiCAD.
Commercial License
To run the commercial license of ArchiCAD in full mode, a hardware protection key (dongle) is required. Depending on which package you have purchased, the protection key will enable you to use ArchiCAD either as a single user or as part of a network. Note: If you have the network version, the DVD will contain a Network Utilities program. See the accompanying Read-Me file for details. Note: Your hardware protection key may be either a WIBU dongle or a CodeMeter dongle. During the installation process, you will be asked to identify which kind you have. If you have a hardware protection key, your ArchiCAD will run in full mode as long as you work on files created with the commercial license. However, if you open a file created in educational mode, ArchiCAD will switch to education mode and a watermark will appear on the page whenever you print/plot drawings.
39
Licenses
Educational License
You may have obtained an Educational license and Serial Number for ArchiCAD if you are a student, teacher or contact person for an educational institution. The file extensions of ArchiCAD files created in the Educational license are identical to those of files created in the Commercial license (i.e., PLN for a solo project and PLA for a solo project archive). However, if you print a file created in the Educational license, each printed/plotted page will display a watermark text. An ArchiCAD file created in the Educational license can be opened by a full (commercial) license of ArchiCAD, which will then switch to Educational mode as long as the Education-license file is in use. The same applies to Education-version projects shared in Teamwork: if you join such a project using a commercial version of ArchiCAD, that version will switch to Educational mode. Installation of an Educational license ArchiCAD follows the same steps as those detailed in this document (see Install ArchiCAD 14), with the following exceptions: Instead of installing a hardware protection key, you will be asked to provide your serial number. If your serial number is that of an individual student rather than an educational institution, you will not have the option to create a custom Installation Package. If your ArchiCAD is registered by an educational institution, entering that serial number will enable you to create a custom Installation Package. See Create Installation Package for Predefined Company Standards on page 45.
40
Licenses
Trial License
The trial license enables you to try out the full functionality of ArchiCAD for up to 30 days, on a single computer. If you have a trial license, the installation process will prompt you to provide a serial number. You can register for a serial number at the website address provided. While the trial license is a full-feature license of ArchiCAD, there are some limitations compared to the full commercial license: Every trial installation has its own unique file format, so that working in teams from multiple computers is not possible. You can try out the Teamwork functionality if you share and access the Trial-version project on the same computer on which the Trial version is installed. Full-license files opened with the trial license will also be converted to the trial format. The trial license cannot save files in AC13 format. Once you buy the full commercial license, you need only insert the protection key into your computer: after restarting the program, the trial license automatically switches to full mode, and the files created by the trial license will be converted to ArchiCAD commercial files, but only on the computer on which they were created. Important: After you convert your Trial version ArchiCAD into Commercial version, make sure you open and re-save all your trial version files. You can do this only with this copy of ArchiCAD. Once you uninstall this copy of ArchiCAD, trial version files created with it can no longer be opened at all.
41
Licenses
Demo Version
If you received a copy of ArchiCAD for evaluation purposes, your package does not contain a hardware key and you will be able to run ArchiCAD in demo mode only. In Demo mode, you cannot save your work, nor can you cut/paste elements from the clipboard or use the Teamwork function. These commands and menu items are disabled, and the ArchiCAD 14 titlebar changes to ArchiCAD 14 Demo. Your ArchiCAD program may also be restricted to Demo mode for the following reasons: no key is attached to your computer, or all of your ArchiCAD licenses are in use, or your protection key is defective. In these cases, an alert message will appear when you start ArchiCAD, informing you about the problem with the protection key. You can run ArchiCAD in Demo mode or quit and resolve the problem.
42
Compatibility Information
Compatibility Information
We suggest that you use previous versions of ArchiCAD to work on your current projects, until you feel comfortable and productive with the new version. We recommend that you keep your existing ArchiCAD environment for a time, even if you are using ArchiCAD 14. ArchiCAD 14 provides downward compatibility to ArchiCAD 13 with limitations: all information based on the new features and functions of ArchiCAD 14 will be lost in a file saved in ArchiCAD 13 format. Also, projects saved in ArchiCAD 13 format will not be able to use ArchiCAD 14 library parts. When migrating earlier version files to ArchiCAD 14, you should load the Subset Library or Migration Library, in addition to the ArchiCAD 14 library. For more information, see the Migration Guide in ArchiCAD Help.

To create a custom installation package, follow these steps: 1) Install ArchiCAD 14 onto your own computer following the steps under Standard Installation. Choose the Typical Setup. 2) Use Options > Work Environment dialog boxes to set up your company standard work environment settings. Most such options are found in three dialog boxes of Company Standard Schemes: Data Safety; Network and Update; and Special Folders. Once you have set these options, you can save these settings in schemes and a company-default profile. To save a profile, go to Options > Work Environment > Work Environment Profiles. Note: If you create new work environment schemes, and if you dont want your Install Package to include the default ones created by the regular installation, then you should first copy the content of the Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\GRAPHISOFT\ArchiCAD 14.0.0 INT R1\WorkEnvironment folder to the Defaults/ArchiCAD/ WorkEnvironment folder. Then delete the unneeded schemes from this latter folder. 3) Create and save any number of template files. Template files include libraries loaded through Library Manager (e.g. Office Standard Library). Templates can also include Project Preferences (e.g. Working Units, Zone calculation preferences), and such items as Master Layouts, Project Info, placed elements (e.g. Elevation markers, entire buildings). 4) Use the DXF-DWG Translation Setup dialog box (File > File Special > DXF-DWG Translation Setup, to set up DXF/ DWG Translators and save them to a shared folder on a server that is accessible to all users. (In this case, a DXF-DWG TranslatorList.xml file is created, which is a list of references

to these translators.) You can also create local translators that you want to install on the hard disk of each user. Use the IFC Translation Setup dialog box (File > File Special > IFC2x3 > IFC Translation Setup, to set up IFC Translators and save them to a shared folder on a server that is accessible to all users. (In this case, a IFC TranslatorList.xml file is created, which is a list of references to these translators.) You can also create local translators that you want to install on the hard disk of each user. Quit ArchiCAD. Create a new folder entitled Defaults. Following the hierarchy below, copy the following files/folders into the Defaults folder: Defaults ArchiCAD folder WorkEnvironment folder Template file(s) (extension .tpl) Dxf-Dwg Translator List file (extension .xml) Dxf-Dwg Translators folder IFC Translator List file (extension .xml) IFC Translators folder Uninstall ArchiCAD from your machine before running the Installer, or run ArchiCAD Installer on the server or on another machine. When you get to Choose Setup Type, choose the Installation Package Creation option. The screens of the Installation Wizard will now show the message Recorded Installation. Proceed through the screens of the Installation Wizard and set options for the content of the recorded installation package:
47
48
Note: The Work Environment Selection screen will appear only if: - the components to be installed include ArchiCAD; and - you have activated the Install company standard defaults checkbox; and - the defined Defaults folder includes a WorkEnvironment subfolder.
49
Template Projects
If you have defined company standard Templates which you want to install on each end users machine, check Install Company Standard Template(s). The template files that you have copied to the Defaults folder are listed. Upon installation on the end users machines, and when the program is first started, these templates will be copied to each end users machine. When creating a new project in ArchiCAD with the Use a Template option, end users will find these company standard templates listed in the pop-up, together with other, recently used template files. Note: This screen will appear only if the components to be installed include ArchiCAD; and you have activated the Install company standard defaults checkbox; and the defined Defaults folder includes at least one Template file.
