How to Update Archicad 26 to Use Cloud Licences?
Reading time: 5 min.
Introduction
Since September 2024, Graphisoft only provides Archicad, BIMcloud, and BIMx with Cloud Licences to all new customers, while giving the remaining customers who hold Hardware Licences and Software Licences time and help until 31 December 2025 to renew them and keep enjoying Graphisoft's products and services. If you are one of the customers still using Archicad 26 (or later) with a Hardware or Software Licence, this article will help you with the licence migration process.
