BIMcloud SaaS with cloud license

Flexible options for cloud-based subscriptions

Graphisoft has introduced a new subscription type for BIMcloud SaaS that uses cloud licenses, instead of key-based licensing.

Features of cloud licensing

  • Your BIMcloud licenses and users are managed in your company account - instead of the BIMcloud Manager
  • If your company account includes user groups, they are synced (groups plus their members) to your BIMcloud
  • You can host guest users from other companies, who use their own portable license
  • The cloud-licensed BIMcloud SaaS can support all compatible versions of Archicad projects and DDScad projects. To enable support for older-version projects, switch on “Legacy authentication” at BIMcloud Manager settings.
  • If you have activated multi-factor authentication (MFA) in your Graphisoft ID account, you can log in only to BIMcloud with cloud licensing, and only from apps using modern authentication (Archicad 27 and up, DDScad 19 and up).

Customers who currently use key-based licensing will be notified about how to transition their projects and users for cloud-based licensing. See Switch to cloud licensing.

Manage users and licenses on company account

Navigate to your company Graphisoft account from BIMcloud Manager:

  • From the Users and groups page, click Visit company account, or click on your company name



  • From the Manager page, click Manage licenses
