An Archicad Collaborate cloud license can act as a named license or as a floating license, depending on how the license is assigned on the Licensing management page.
- A cloud license is named if it is assigned directly to a Graphisoft ID account
- A cloud license becomes a floating license if assigned to a group
The Administrator or Contract Manager can create, edit, and invite Graphisoft ID accounts to groups. Those members can then access the floating licenses in their group.
This new management function allows for bidirectional license distribution. Named cloud licenses become floating as soon as they are assigned to a group. When removed from a group, the cloud license can become a named license again.
Once you have purchased your cloud license you can review and manage it at https://licensemanagement.graphisoft.com/.
After you sign in with your Graphisoft ID you will see information about the licenses available to you as a member. The administrator of the company can manage the company profile and all licenses.

The 'Floating licenses' option will list all of the groups that you are part of and the licenses in each group. A Graphisoft ID account can be a member of multiple groups in the same company, but we recommend that each account be added to just one single group.
