About Bricsys Network License Server

A network license allows multiple users on the same TCP/IP network to share access to product licenses. The Bricsys Network License Server manages how licenses are distributed to users.

When you launch BricsCAD, it requests a license from the license server through the network. If a license is available, the Bricsys Network License Server assigns a license to the computer, and the number of available licenses on the license server is reduced by one.

When you close BricsCAD, the license returns to the pool.

To make a network license available in BricsCAD on a client computer, the network administrator needs to install the Bricsys Network License Server, which contains the Bricsys Network License Manager, powered by a recent version of RLM framework (V15.2).

Overview and control over the license usage can be done via web-interface, while license activation and license update can be done via Bricsys Network License Manager dialog box.

The Bricsys Network License Server needs a license file that you can activate online or manually. The network license can only be activated once, and it will be locked to the machine.

Once the Bricsys Network License Server is set up and has an active license, it can distribute that license to the client computers that have BricsCAD installed. The number of computers that can use a license simultaneously is limited by the number of seats available on the network license.

The Bricsys Network License Server is available for Windows and Linux. It is not available for macOS. When you have the Bricsys Network License Server running on Windows or Linux, it can distribute licenses to client computers running Windows/Linux/macOS.
