Proxy settings on a client computer

Some computers are connected to a network or to the internet via a proxy server. Therefore, the proxy settings should be configured before activating or deactivating a license.

Configuring the proxy settings

  1. Click the Proxy Settings... button in the Activate BricsCAD or the Licensing Information dialog box.
    The Proxy dialog box opens.
  2. Complete the necessary fields in the Proxy dialog box.
  3. Click the OK button to continue.
Note: The proxy settings configuration remains active for the current BricsCAD session only. If you need to reactivate or deactivate a license in a future session, you will have to reconfigure the proxy settings.

Configuring the proxy settings permanently for network license use

If you use a network license, BricsCAD needs to connect to the license server each time a session is opened. Therefore, the proxy settings must be configured permanently.

Proceed as follows on the computer where BricsCAD is running:

  1. Create the HTTP_PROXY variable: HTTP_PROXY=[LicenseServer]:[PortNumber]
  2. (Optional) If the proxy server supports basic authentication, create the HTTP_PROXY_CREDENTIALS variable: HTTP_PROXY_CREDENTIALS=[UserName]:[Password]
