Can I buy a BricsCAD license for older versions?

How do I transfer my license to another computer?

To move a single or a volume license to another computer (license can be transferred between Mac and PC):
1. First, deactivate your license on the old computer.
2. Once the license is deactivated, you can activate it again on another computer.

All your valid licenses can be found on the Bricsys website in My Account > Licenses and Support Contracts (login required).

I get an error when trying to run the BricsCAD installer for Mac. How should I proceed?

To install and run BricsCAD on macOS 10.15, you need to explicitly select "Open Anyway". This option is available via System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, or when using a right-click to open the application.

Can I trial a BricsCAD Network license?

Yes, a 30-day trial of a BricsCAD Network license is available upon request. To obtain one, please contact Bricsys Sales or your local Bricsys Reseller.
