Questions? We’ve got answers.

he trial provides unlimited access to three powerful tools – Archicad, BIMcloud SaaS (Software as a Service), and BIMx— for 30 days. Explore all their features to evaluate how they fit your workflow. The trial provides 10 free seats, so you can experience seamless collaboration together with your whole team.  

Instead of the trial, students and educators can get the free, fully functional education version of Archicad. Use your school email address to sign up

You can use your trial license for 30 days. We’ll send you a reminder two weeks before the trial expires. 

No payment details are required to start the trial. If you do enter your payment details during sign-up, your trial will automatically convert to a paid license at the end of the trial period, unless you cancel beforehand. 

No difference! The trial provides the same features as the full version, so you can experience the software in the same way as a paying customer.  

After signing up for your free trial on the Graphisoft Store, download and install Archicad. Launch the application and sign in. (Make sure you use the email address linked to your Graphisoft ID, which you created while signing up.) 

Yes! When you sign in with your Graphisoft ID on the second device, Archicad will notify you that your license is in use elsewhere. Release your license from the first device, then click Refresh to transfer your license to the second one. 

If you didn’t enter your payment information during the trial, your subscription will be automatically canceled, and you will not be charged. You can subscribe to any of our paid plans at any time after your trial ends. 

At the end of the trial, you will no longer have access to your trial licenses. You can keep using Archicad in demo mode, which gives you all functions except the ability to save, publish, or collaborate. 

As for BIMcloud  SaaS (Software as a Service): after the trial period ends, you have 15 days to reactivate your BIMcloud SaaS and retain your content. After the 15 days are up, the system will automatically delete your BIMcloud SaaS and any content you have stored on it.  

To reactivate BIMcloud SaaS and keep all your content, please go to Graphisoft Store to purchase either a Collaborate (includes full version of Archicad, BIMcloud SaaS and BIMx) or a BIMcloud SaaS subscription.
