License model

There are 5 license levels for BricsCAD:

• BricsCAD Lite
• BricsCAD Pro
• BricsCAD BIM
• BricsCAD Mechanical
• BricsCAD Ultimate

BricsCAD Lite

If you only create general 2D designs, BricsCAD Lite may be the right choice for you. Compared to AutoCAD LT®, it also allows to view, move, copy, or mirror 3D models. However, it is not possible to edit the model or create new 3D entities. BricsCAD Lite also runs Lisp routines. Lisp allows BricsCAD users to load customized routines or small applications that will run in BricsCAD.

BricsCAD Pro

BricsCAD Pro includes direct 3D modeling with a full 3D constraint system, rendering with materials and lighting and access to third party applications.

BricsCAD BIM

BricsCAD BIM includes all BricsCAD Pro features. You can use your current CAD skills to smoothly move to creating real Building Information Models in record time. One product, one workflow, all in industry-standard DWG.

BricsCAD Mechanical

On top of all BricsCAD Pro features, BricsCAD Mechanical includes a complete mechanical design toolkit, all in industry-standard DWG, including sheet metal functionality.

BricsCAD Ultimate

BricsCAD Ultimate combines the BricsCAD BIM and BricsCAD Mechanical features.

There are 2 license types for BricsCAD:

• Perpetual license
• Subscription license

Perpetual license

When you purchase a perpetual license, you own the software. BricsCAD editions run on Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux.

Subscription license

When you choose the subscription option, you have access to the latest version of BricsCAD for 1 year. It includes Priority Support and access to all new versions that are released during the time your subscription is active.

Single-user license

The single-user license agreement is for a single user. Each single-user license allows 2 activations. You can install it on 2 machines, for example on a workstation in the office and on a laptop in the field. However, only 1 license can be in use at once. Single-user-licensing is available for perpetual or subscription licensing.

Network license

The network licensing agreement enables multiple users to access BricsCAD within a LAN (Local Area Network). The number of available network licenses defines the number of users who can concurrently use the software. The network license option is available for perpetual or subscription licensing and includes a 1-year maintenance contract.

Volume license

The volume licensing agreement allows you to use BricsCAD within a defined user base. You can install the software using a single license key valid for every user. The volume license option is available for perpetual or subscription licensing and includes a 1-year maintenance contract.
