ADallas Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 If my architectural partner and I buy a full license and an additional license, will we have problems down the road? What if one of us wants to buy SSA? Do we have to manage both licenses in lock step, or can they diverge over time? Will ChiefArchitect contact only one of us with notices and upgrades?

lbuttery Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 they are "locked" together if you ever want to separate it will cost $$$ to make the second license a full license the transfer fee for a full license is $50 - for a second license it is $$$ Lew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 SSA comes with the license the 1st year so you will both get X13 but if you both don't get SSA in the future and thus do not have the same version you will not be able to exchange plans from higher to lower versions ( no backwards compatibility) To separate the Licenses you have to pay the going price difference at the time AFAIK , so about $900 today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADallas Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Thanks, lbuttery and Kbird1. I confirmed what you said with CA Sales just now. An additional license is, to some extent, a second-class citizen. It is "locked" to the primary, which can be awkward when partners split up. It's worth the extra money to avoid that, so my partner, who is 1,000 miles away, bought her own first-class license, as did I. I'm excited to join the CA family--it's too hard to make Revit work for simple Type V residential. /alastair/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
