How to Activate a BricsCAD Network Licence Online

Quick answer: Open the Bricsys Network License Manager from your desktop or Start menu shortcut, enter your network licence key in the Activate New Network License dialog, and click Activate. This needs an internet connection and uses the key from your Octave account. If the server already has an active licence, you’ll start from a slightly different screen.

How to Activate a Network Licence Online

1. Open the Bricsys Network License Manager using the shortcut on your desktop or in your Start menu.
2. In the Activate New Network License dialog, enter your key in the Enter Activation key field.
3. Click Activate.

Your licence key comes from the My Licenses section of your Octave account.

If You Already Have an Active Licence

If the server already has an active licence, opening the Network License Manager takes you to the Bricsys Network License Manager dialog itself instead of straight to the activation screen. Click Add License from there to reach the same Activate New Network License dialog and enter your new key the same way.
