CAD license

Wouldn't it be great if you could get a flexible CAD license that worked anywhere, across the globe, forever? With BricsCAD you can! BricsCAD offers flexible CAD licensing that works exactly the way you expect.

No-issue licensing

With BricsCAD you're in charge. We believe that you should be able to buy your software and use it as you wish. We don't charge you for 'special conditions'. We offer permanent, lifetime licenses. We offer network licensing. We offer volume licensing, too. Want to rent your CAD licenses? With BricsCAD, you can. BricsCAD's terms and conditions are clear and transparent.

Licenses without border control

BricsCAD licenses work without borders. If you travel for work or your company has offices in different countries, then you'll want BricsCAD. You can use your BricsCAD license anywhere in the world for as long as you like. We don't require special multi-region contracts or hidden additional charges.

Need to travel to Australia for 6 months? No problem. Want to share licenses on your company's server across different regions? With BricsCAD's flexible CAD licensing, you can.

BricsCAD offers flexible CAD licensing

Let's talk a bit more about the license types available from Bricsys:

Network licensing

With BricsCAD's network licensing, multiple users can access BricsCAD on a LAN (Local Area Network). You can also use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to extend your license pool across the internet -- without changing your license contract. Network license customers can check out licenses for remote use, too. Your business demands licensing flexibility, and Bricsys provides it with our network licensing program.

Network perpetual, or rental

The network license option is available with either perpetual or rental licensing. Network licensing is also available with our free academic license offer -- educational institutions can request and deploy single-user, network or volume licenses for no cost. Learn more about implementing BricsCAD licenses in Robert Green's CAD Manager's Corner series.

Multiple installations

Oh, and by the way... do you use a laptop and a desktop machine? Your BricsCAD single-user license can be installed on both machines. Just please remember that only one person can use that license, on one computer at a time. The idea is that you can have your BricsCAD license available at your office, and on the road -- easily and simply.
