Manage WibuKey settings The WIBU-KEY Control Panel (PC) Note that the 'key server' machine can be any computer in the network, it does not have to run a server operating system and it does not have to have ARCHICAD installed. On the key server machine (the machine that runs the WibuKey Server application) these components need to be installed: In case of NET keys, the same version of the WibuKey driver needs to be installed on all machines where ARCHICAD is installed. After installing an older version of ARCHICAD, we recommend to re-install the latest WibuKey driver from.

Note that installing an older version of ARCHICAD may replace a more current driver with an older version. The drivers can also be installed separately from the ARCHICAD Install DVD, or can be downloaded from this page: During installing the drivers, the WibuKey should NOT be plugged, and rebooting the computer after installing is recommended. From ARCHICAD 13, installing the WibuKey driver is optional (you have to choose either WibuKey or CodeMeter during the ARCHICAD install process). Installing ARCHICAD versions 7.0 to 12 will automatically install a WibuKey driver. To access licenses in a WibuKey, the WibuKey driver needs to be installed. More about the NET keys: WibuKey/Server Tools and Drivers To share ARCHICAD licenses in a computer network, the WibuKey Server application has to be installed and run. WibuKeys can be programmed to hold a Single ARCHICAD license, or multiple licenses (up to 99), in which case it is called a NET key. For details see: ProtectionKey#WibuKey_compatibility Single and NET keys Running different versions of ARCHICAD parallel on a computer may result more than one used license on the Wibu Server. WibuKey also does not support license borrowing. This is why CodeMeter, as a newer option was introduced with ARCHICAD 13. Therefore it can not hold all the key-protected Graphisoft products (ARCHICAD, EcoDesigner Star, BIMx and MEP Modeler ) at the same time. The internal memory of a WibuKey does not allow supporting more than 3 products. That is, a WibuKey programmed for ARCHICAD 16 can run previous versions back to ARCHICAD 7.0 (or, with proper tools installed, back to 6.0).
