BricsCAD® Maintenance is a range of high priority support and maintenance services. For purchase licence holders, Maintenance is the most cost-effective way to keep your software up to date. All minor and major updates are included during the contract period.

BricsCAD® offers the most flexible licensing model where you can choose between new and rental licences, network or standalone. You can even mix them freely for an environment that suits you. For example, if you compare the price of BricsCAD® with AutoCAD®, a BricsCAD® rental licence costs about half of the corresponding AutoCAD® licence.

Contact our support via the website and we will review your upgrade options and help you complete the process.

If the licence server needs to be replaced, please contact us at support@procadsystems.comand we will help you with the server move.

A BricsCAD® licence provides lifetime access to the BricsCAD® software with no monthly or annual fees. The software will work as long as your computer and operating system support it. Priority support and updates are available through Maintenance agreements.

No, the licence keys work with all language versions of the product and for all supported operating systems (Windows, macOS and Linux). You can also use your licence while travelling.

A single licence is activated directly on a computer. The licence does not require access to a local network. If the licence is to be used on another computer, it needs to be deactivated and then reactivated on the new computer.

You can easily purchase the licence you need via our online shop. Once you have the licence key, restart the trial product and enter your key in the Licence Manager. This will activate your trial version as a commercial product and you will automatically receive the correct licence level.

The trial period gives you full access to BricsCAD® Ultimate, where you can test all features of BricsCAD® Lite, Pro, BIM, Mechanical and Shape. The trial licence is valid for 30 days. If you need support during the trial period, you are welcome to contact us.

Our single licences can be complemented by a Maintenance Agreement and the Maintenance Agreement is mandatory for network licences.

BricsCAD® Lite is the fastest route to 2D drawings and manufacturing documentation, and a great solution for infrequent users of 2D design.

The rental option gives you access to the latest version of BricsCAD® for one year. It includes priority support and access to all updates and new versions released during the contract period.

A network licence is installed on the local network and allows multiple users to access licences. Licences are distributed by a licence server and to as many clients as the activation key allows. If a client releases its licence, it immediately becomes available to another user. Network licences require BricsCAD® Maintenance.

If you choose not to renew your BricsCAD® Maintenance contract, you will no longer have access to priority support and software updates. However, your current BricsCAD® version will continue to work as long as your computer and/or operating system supports it.
