Questions? We’ve got answers.

The Archicad Studio trial offers unlimited access to Archicad, BIMcloud Basic (ideal for office-based teams using local servers), and BIMx for a 30-day period. Explore all the features to evaluate how they fit your workflow. The trial is valid for one free seat.

Everyone is eligible for a free Archicad trial if they have never purchased one and have not applied for a trial in the last 12 months.

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.

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 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.
