  2. Pick the Deactivate... button.
  3. Select Yes when prompted.

Communicator for BricsCAD and other 3rd Party applications

Deactivating BricsCAD does not deactivate Communicator for BricsCAD or any other 3rd party applications. As many of these applications require access to BricsCAD to run, you will need to deactivate those license(s) first, before you deactivate BricsCAD.

If you have a Communicator for BricsCAD License, then you can also deactivate its license from the BricsCAD LICENCEMANAGER.

Notes
Starting from BricsCAD V25.2 Users have the option to deactivate their license as part when uninstalling the product. An extra dialog will appear during the uninstallation process that allows you to chose whether to deactivate the current license activation.


Note, doing this does not deactivate Communicator for BricsCAD or any other 3rd party applications. Currently, a similar option is not provided when uninstalling Communicator for BricsCAD.

Activate your license on a new machine

Open BricsCAD on the existing machine. At the start up screen:
  1. Pick the Activate button.
  2. Enter your license key. You can find your license key under the Licenses and support contracts section of your Bricsys account.
  3. Pick the OK button to activate your license.

You will get a confirmation message once your license has been successfully activated.
