Good to know – Licenses are localized

A new version of Archicad is released each year.

The latest version is Archicad 26.

Archicad is available in 28 language versions.

These versions are not just translations of the same interface, but their Licenses, architectural content and tool defaults are optimized for the local market.
You will need a version of Archicad to match your license.

Licenses need to be upgraded each year to be able to use the latest version of Archicad.
Without a license upgrade you can still use the Archicad version you purchased the license for.
Each license runs the corresponding version of Archicad and all previous versions back to version 13.

For example: an Archicad 25 license runs Archicad 24, 23, 22 all the way to 13, but does not run Archicad 26.
