Beginning with ARCHICAD 25, program authentication is required. Authentication occurs when you sign in with your GRAPHISOFT ID.
At ARCHICAD Startup (the second time you start the program), you get a prompt to sign in. Simply enter your GRAPHISOFT ID and work as usual.
By authenticating your copy of ARCHICAD, you help GRAPHISOFT provide support and content that are better tailored to your specific needs, so you can get the most out of ARCHICAD.
Authentication also makes it easier for you or your IT manager to activate software licenses.
For more details, follow the link on the left side of the startup screen.
If you don’t have a GRAPHISOFT ID, click Sign up now.
You can skip GRAPHISOFT ID sign-in, but after the grace period expires, authentication is required to use the full version of ARCHICAD. Otherwise, you can use Demo mode, and sign in at any time to continue in ARCHICAD’s full version.
Other Ways to Sign In or Out with GRAPHISOFT ID
In a running ARCHICAD, do one of the following:
•Use the ARCHICAD Help menu
•Right-click GRAPHISOFT ID in the Status Bar (bottom right of your screen)
•Use the command in the Select License Types dialog. (This dialog appears during ARCHICAD Startup if the required license is missing.)
