This page explains the different types of Graphisoft product licenses, plus Demo Mode.
A cloud-based license is connected to a user’s Graphisoft account, so it works only if the user has signed in.
You can use a cloud-based license if
•your company has purchased a cloud-type subscription
•you have a Graphisoft account, and you have signed in
•your company administrator has assigned a license to you
After purchasing a subscription, your company administrator assigns you a license using the cloud-based license site.
When you start up your Graphisoft product, you are prompted to sign in to your account with your Graphisoft ID. Your license is then activated, and you can start working.
Make sure you sign in with the right account and the right credentials, otherwise you might not get your license.
To release your license, you must sign out of your account.
When you start the program, it automatically checks to see if you have a license available. If not, you can continue in Demo Mode.
Demo Mode gives you full functionality except file saving, publishing, and collaboration features (Hotlinks, Teamwork). Use Demo mode to open, view and try out functions.
The unavailable commands and menu items are disabled, and the program’s title bar changes to Demo.
