Short Introduction

The CodeMeter protection key (software or hardware-based) represents your license to use Archicad. You can use it to transfer the license from one machine to another. It is also possible to borrow a license for a particular machine for a limited time, without having to transfer the physical network protection key itself. Thus, the CodeMeter technology significantly reduces the risk of a lost or stolen hardware key.
An office using Archicad will probably have one network key and several CodeMeter keys (software-based license keys or physical CodeMeter keyplugs). If the user plans to be out of the office or offline, three options are available:

• The CmStick can be used to borrow a license from the site. Archicad will run on any machine to which this CmStick is physically attached.
• A license file can be bound to the user’s computer, so there is no need to carry along an extra hardware device.
• Upload Software Key to the Company License Pool and download it onto another machine.

In the first two cases, the user borrows the license for a fixed period. The license can be returned by the user, or else it will expire automatically when the borrowing period ends; at this time, the license again becomes available for borrowing from the site key.

Please keep in mind that if a computer is damaged or the CmStick is lost, the user cannot return the borrowed license, which thus remains unavailable until the borrowing period expires. So it makes sense to set borrowing time limits wisely.

You can learn more about CodeMeter protection on HelpCenter.
