Licensing error -105 (Error reading from network)

Symptoms

When trying to activate BricsCAD, I get the error message: Error reading from network (error -105).

Cause

A firewall is blocking internet traffic.

Solution

Do one of the following:

  • Disable the firewall during activation. Enable the firewall again afterward.
  • Make an exception on the firewall for port 80 and URL: license.bricsys.com/actpro
  • If it is not possible to disable the firewall or make the exception, do a manual activation.
