The creators of the Archicad program offer free versions to download on their website. One of them is the standard 30-day version, which allows us to test it, decide if it suits our needs, and eventually purchase the full version.

Archicad - Free - Where to Download? Guide

To download the demo version, visit the website www.myarchicad.com and select the Professional option. Then proceed to the registration panel, where you will be asked to fill in your details along with your current email address. Only after being redirected to your account on the myarchicad.com website will you be able to download the program. In this case, the available version for us will always be the latest one provided by the manufacturer.

A few days before the trial version expires, the program will notify us.

Archicad also offers a student version, which allows us to use the program for 1 year. If you have a valid student ID or are participating in a course that enables you to download this version, follow the same steps as for downloading the trial version, but select the Student option after visiting the website www.myarchicad.com.

The procedure for registration in the educational version will be the same as for the trial version, so you will need to fill in your details as well. The difference with the educational version is that you will need to apply for this license. At the top of the page, there will be a button - Apply for an annual educational license. After opening this tab, you will need to fill out a form with the university details and send it for verification.

If you are still studying and your license is about to expire, you can request an extension. Just remember that it will always be the latest version, so you might need to learn new features ;-).

If this post was helpful for you, or if you want to deepen your knowledge about the program, feel free to check out our other articles.

Best regards! :)
