Solibri Anywhere is now a legacy offering

Solibri Anywhere provided accessible IFC model viewing and model-based review across BIM workflows. Effective April 13, 2026 Solibri Anywhere is a legacy product and is no longer developed but existing installations remain usable in the current version. You can continue using your current installation or run it alongside the latest Solibri platform.

Today, organizations seeking IFC model inspection and structured BIM validation can benefit from Solibri’s updated offerings, built to support stronger coordination, quality assurance, and scalable validation workflows across a wider range of project requirements.

Why Solibri evolved beyond Anywhere

IFC viewing alone is no longer sufficient.

Modern digital construction requires:

  • Structured model inspection
  • Early issue identification
  • Integrated coordination workflows
  • Rule-based validation logic
  • Scalable quality control

Solibri Anywhere enabled IFC viewing and model communication.

The new Solibri offerings expand that foundation into structured validation and measurable quality assurance.

Frequently asked questions

Solibri Anywhere is classified as a legacy product and is no longer available for new purchase.

For existing users, Solibri Anywhere is still available and continues to function as a viewing and collaboration tool. We have made the decision to freeze further development on Anywhere, meaning it will not receive new features, but it will not be taken away from you.

Yes, you can still download Solibri Anywhere version 25.12.0.(Desktop) via Solibri Center by registering as a user. 

For login or creating a new account, please visit the Solibri Center here.

Yes—if you’re using the free version, you can continue using your existing Solibri Anywhere installation as long as you stay on versions prior to 26.4.0

  • To keep using Anywhere: continue using your current installed version (prior to 26.4.0) and avoid updating it.
  • If you update to a newer version: the free Anywhere entitlement is not available in newer releases and you may see the message: “No licenses available, contact your Admin”.
  • If you accidentally overwritten your previous Anywhere installation: you can download it again from Solibri Center. Simply login, access Products and Services, and select version 25.12.0. During or after installation, remember to turn Automatic updates off. As a note, it is also possible to run v25.12.0 Anywhere and the new Solibri version side by side.

If you want continued improvements and a supported path forward for IFC model access, inspection, and structured validation, Solibri Starter is the recommended upgrade.

If your organization uses other Solibri licenses (e.g., Office or Site), Solibri Anywhere will remain available as a fallback for existing users. However, it is no longer actively developed and is not intended for primary workflows. Going forward, model access and validation workflows are delivered through the Solibri platform.

For structured IFC inspection and model viewing, Solibri Starter provides a direct progression.

For expanded coordination workflows and clash detection, Solibri Essential is recommended.

Solibri Starter builds upon the IFC inspection capabilities established by Solibri Anywhere and extends them with model federation, structured validation logic, issue identification, and scalable progression into coordination and governance tiers.

Yes. Solibri continues to support openBIM principles and IFC interoperability across all current offerings.
