Upgrading BricsCAD or extending your subscription (Single-user license)

BricsCAD license upgrades no longer generate new license keys. Your current license key remains valid for future upgrades.

Important:
  • We strongly recommend activating or upgrading BricsCAD online.
  • If the license was activated offline, you need to revoke it first. See the Revoke a BricsCAD license (limited operation) article for more information.
    Remember: Only 2 revokes are possible. For online activated licenses, deactivation and reactivation are unlimited.
