Keep in mind that the general process is the same for educators, researchers, and schools. For that, first, you need to download the 30-days version from platform and then apply for full year extensions until the end of your studies. For StudentsĪs I mentioned, students, educators, researchers, and schools are entitled to receive the fully functional education version of Archicad for free. In this post, I will explain to you how to access Archicad for free. This new approach is implemented after the #graphisoftLEARN program*. This support has been given for many years, but from 14 October 2019, the professional trial access to Archicad is separated from the educational site in order to provide specialized customer care for professionals and better educational support for students, educators, and researchers. GRAPHISOFT supports students, educators, researchers and schools with its BIM software solutions by providing free educational Archicad licenses during their educational activities.
I'm sure there are those who say they will vote for their wallet and they are likely to find that within a few years they just can't buy software any better than 3D Home Architect from Staples for $39.95.Archicad is free for students, educators, researchers, and schools There are more and more programs moving to the software-as-a-service model, so it's something we may have to get used to as fewer professional-grade software are available in any other way. Software is moving closer to leasing a car, with nicer software costing more to lease. It's nowhere near as developed as Archicad or Revit. Vectorworks is dramatically cheaper, but it is a case of getting what you pay for. Believe me, we could have it a lot worse. Check out prices on Digital Project, Tekla, or Constructor. Unfortunately, it just put Archicad on par with Revit for upgrade costs, so it's not like there's a BIM software with a lower cost of ownership. I saw it as more cost for smaller upgrades. I still don't like it, since the last major upgrade was AC10, which was when they started charging more.
That's a HUGE (50%) increase in annual ownership cost. I was pretty annoyed when Archicad upgrades went from $695 every 18 months to $695 to every year.
