The BIMcloud User License

Note: Not available on BIMcloud Basic, for which User License is not required.

Each user joining a project on the BIMcloud requires a BIMcloud User License. The license is automatically reserved for the user when he/she opens a Teamwork project in ARCHICAD.

A single reserved User License allows the user to join any number of projects on the same BIMcloud from ARCHICAD and/or BIMx. (If the user joins a project from both applications, then a single BIMcloud User License is sufficient; no additional license is required.)

If a user works on multiple projects that are located on more than one BIMcloud, then each BIMcloud will reserve an additional license for that user.

A BIMcloud User License remains reserved until the user closes ARCHICAD.

Once he/she joins again: if the user's license is missing (e.g. there are no more available BIMcloud User Licenses), then the user will be forced offline.

It is possible to permanently assign a BIMcloud User License to a particular user (see BIMcloud Manager - Licenses Panel). A permanently assigned BIMcloud User License will not be automatically revoked even after the user leaves all projects on the BIMcloud.

The BIMcloud Manager component handles all license management tasks centrally. (Of course, ARCHICADs still need access to the ARCHICAD protection keys.)

To view detailed information about the currently available/used licenses, open the BIMcloud Manager and navigate to the Servers > BIMcloud Manager > Licenses panel. (The BIMcloud Manager can be used without reserving a license.)
