Offline/manual activation (Network license)

If your computer is not connected to the internet, you can activate the license manually via another computer that is connected to the internet. If you can have an internet connection available, even only during activation, we recommend using the online activation process.

  1. Open the Bricsys Network License Manager (click the shortcut on the desktop or in the operating system Start menu).
  2. The Activate New Network License dialog box opens. Select the Offline option.
    Note: If an active license is detected on your system, the Bricsys Network License Manager dialog box opens.

    Click the Add License button to open the Activate New Network License dialog box.

  3. Copy the full content of the Computer Hostid field and use it to generate the license file.
    Note: To generate the license file:
    • Log in to the Bricsys website with a computer connected to internet.
    • Click your name in the upper right corner and select Manage licenses from the menu.

      Make sure you log in with the Bricsys account of your company which contains the Network license. Contact your Bricsys account manager if needed.

    • Click Manual activation.
    • In the Host ID field, paste the host ID of the computer you installed the Bricsys Network License Server on.
    • Click the Activate button.

      A license file is generated and available for download.
