Hi. I just purchased the software and after installing the applications I can't run any of them. Also, I had issues with accessing graphisoft id website. Seems like my computer is blocking the graphisoft website and apps. I turned off firewall, but still no luck in connecting.
I work on macOS Catalina 10.15.4
What could be a reason I can't access the software. Please help

Hi,

Thank you for your question and I am very sorry about the issue!

Have you tried to connect to GRAPHISOFT ID website with another browser?
If you cannot connect to https://graphisoftid.graphisoft.com/, regardless of the browser that you are using and with Firewall turned off, there is a high chance that the connection to GRAPHISOFT is blocked system-wide.

To confirm this, I would like to kindly ask you to follow the following steps:
- Open the Terminal on macOS (Finder > Utilities > Terminal)
- Run the following command (requires admin rights):
sudo nano /etc/hosts
- Please type in your password, then press Enter.

Then please share with me the screenshot of the dialog appeared.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Best regards,
Minh

Hi Minh,

I'm having the same issue. None of my browsers can connect with graphisoftid.graphisoft.com. Although I'm able to connect with my account on my iPhone. I've attached a screenshot of my Terminal dialog. Thanks.

Best regards,
Mike

Hey Mike,

Thank you for the question!

In this Terminal dialog, all lines from # Graphisoft Anti-license checks by Up7 till the end needs to be deleted (you can navigate with arrow keys and press Backspace to delete". Once you're done, press Control + O to save the changes. Press Control + X to close the editor. Everything should work afterwards.

Please let me know if it works!

Best regards,
Minh
