The current Update installer is able to update Archicad client applications and GRAPHISOFT BIM Server applications. * With an Archicad client application you can connect either to a Graphisoft BIM Server or to a Graphisoft BIMcloud. Please make sure that you update BIM Server/BIMcloud* along with the Archicad client applications used in Teamwork.

Working in Teamwork requires that client Archicads and the BIM Server/BIMcloud* all have the identical version and build number.

On Windows Server operating systems Windows Server Manager application must be closed prior to applying the update.

On Windows Server 2008 R2 or Small Business Server 2011 you have to manually stop all BIM Server services prior to applying the update.

If the BIM Server does not start immediately after installation, please restart the computer.

The BIM Server will be stopped automatically, during the time of updating the BIM Server application, projects will be suspended.

We strongly recommend that you disable any virus checker for the time of the BIM Server installation.
