Upgrading to the next BricsCAD version when having active maintenance (Single/Volume license)
When a new major BricsCAD version is released, all licenses covered by an active maintenance contract are updated to run the newly released version.
After installation of BricsCAD V25, upon launch, you will see a pop-up saying that your license was updated to V25.
This shows after launching BricsCAD, before the BricsCAD Launcher dialog box appears.
Important:
- Only the V24 keys are automatically updated to V25 when covered by an active maintenance contract. If you have never activated your V24 license, you can retrieve your key from the My Licenses section in your account. Next, go to the License Manager dialog box, select Activate Now and enter your key.
See more information in the Online activation (Single/Volume license) article.
- If the license was activated offline, you need to revoke it first. See the Deactivate or revoke a license article for more information. If no more revokes are available, you have to contact support.Remember: Only 2 revokes are possible. For online activated licenses, deactivation and reactivation is unlimited.
- Communicator for BricsCAD® licenses are not automatically updated. You need to enter the key in the License Manager dialog box. See also the Communicator for BricsCAD - Getting started article.
If the update of your license was not automatically detected, retrieve your key from the My Licenses section in your account. Next, go to the License Manager dialog box, select Activate Now and enter your key.
