Proxy settings on a client computer

Configuring the proxy settings

  1. Click the Proxy Settings... button in the License Manager > Activate BricsCAD or the Licensing Information dialog box.

    The Proxy dialog box opens.

  2. Complete the necessary fields in the License Manager > 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.
Note: The proxy server is also configurable from the Proxy settings section in the Settings dialog box.

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].
