What is a BricsCAD Network License?

A network license allows many users on the same TCP/IP network to access a shared pool of BricsCAD licenses. BricsCAD uses the Reprise NLM (Network License Manager), which you install on a central server on your premises. The network license manager controls the distribution of the license pool.

Network licensing is available at an additional cost per license. Also, we require that network licensed product is kept on BricsCAD Maintenance. Your Bricsys Reseller or Business Development Manager can give you more information on network license pricing.

What is a BricsCAD Volume License?

A volume license is a single license key that is authorized to be used across a number of independent computers. Volume licenses are designed to assist CAD and IT administrators deploy BricsCAD to large numbers of computers that may or may not be on the same network.

A volume license is not publicly available on the online store. If you’re interested in volume licensing, please contact Bricsys or a local BricsCAD reseller.
