About Network licenses
A network license allows multiple users on the same LAN (Local Area Network) to access BricsCAD via TCP/IP.
To make the network license available for the client machines, the administrator installs the Bricsys Network License Server on the server, activates the license, and then the server distributes the license seats.
The client computer requests a seat when BricsCAD launches and returns it when BricsCAD closes.
System Requirements
The Bricsys Network License Server is available for Windows and Linux. It is not available for macOS. When you have the Bricsys Network License Server running on Windows or Linux, it can distribute licenses to client computers running Windows/Linux/macOS.
