Forward

Graphisoft Forward keeps you working through emergency situations. Forward customers get free, guaranteed access to emergency licenses when experiencing a sudden loss of access whether due to theft, natural disaster, or global event. These short-term ‘emergency’ product licenses give you a continuity of service so you can maintain progress on projects. Emergency access for each active license in your Forward license pool can be used up to two times within a given 12-month service term.

Forward provides flexibility so you can best manage and optimize your team’s needs. Choose to purchase Graphisoft licenses on “network” keys or via cloud licensing. This dynamic “first come first serve” access to the company’s entire license pool for the entire team means you can operate uninterrupted and as the firm’s workload demands.

Accidents happen, so with Forward we have you covered when they do. Once a year, Forward customers can replace stolen, damaged, or defective hardware keys free-of-charge. Just surrender your damaged or defective key(s) or provide an official police report documenting the stolen key(s).

With Forward, your firm gets special pricing and volume discounts on Archicad licenses. This pricing advantage also applies to Graphisoft Learn and consulting services – so your firm can confidently and wisely invest in learning the best ways to use the best software.

Be the first to discover new technology innovations from Graphisoft. As a Graphisoft Forward member, you’ll be notified about Beta updates and technology previews. Help shape the software that you prefer to use.

When your workload lightens, or staffing numbers shift, Forward lets you adjust accordingly. Firms can temporarily remove an unlimited number of unused product licenses from service, reducing overhead for as long as needed. Parked Product licenses stay in the Forward license pool and remain eligible for all Forward benefits such as upgrades. Parked licenses incur a Forward Fee of ten (10) percent of the base Forward Fee calculated without any discounts annually. They can be reactivated at any time upon payment of pro-rated full Forward Fees for the remainder of the current Renewal Service Term, and commitment to an additional full Renewal Service Term. Please note that Parking is available after the first Renewal Service Term and only available for up to 50 (fifty) percent of the license stock on SSA.

As we innovate our products we recognize the importance of building know-how among our customers. That’s why Forward provides free and discounted access to our online product courses. Our customers succeed when they have the skills to get the most out of BIM. We want firms to continually advance their capabilities, whether they have new staff or rely on seasoned veterans. The Graphisoft Learn portal contains instructor-led, high-level classes for BIM managers, as well as complete curriculum with self-led learning paths that follow a variety of needs and skill levels.
