BricsCAD is One Lightweight Family of Products with Flexible Licensing Options.

All the features of BricsCAD Family are provided in single compact free to download file: BricsCAD Ultimate.

While evaluating BricsCAD in trial mode the software runs without restrictions as an BricsCAD Ultimate licence, which has all the powerful features from BricsCAD Lite, Pro, BIM and Mechanical combined in one bundle.

When you purchase a permanent, perpetual or subscription LICENCE you will be provided with an authorisation key which will automatically set BricsCAD to the feature level that you chose to purchase i.e. Lite, PRO, BIM, MECHANICAL or ULTIMATE.

You do not need to install or update anything, none of your BricsCAD settings and preferences are affected and you can easily upgrade to a higher level at any time.

Even while evaluating the BricsCAD trial you have the option of setting the licence to a lower level or higher level at any time. For example, if you are evaluating BRICSCAD against AutoCAD LT then you can easily set the BricsCAD licence level to Lite by using the command SETLICENCELEVEL.

Conversely, if you have been evaluating BricsCAD at the Lite level and you are curious to know what features are available in the PRO version then use the SETLICENCELEVEL command again and set the level to PRO.

So here is a brief summary of each level of BricsCAD and you can see a detailed BricsCAD Feature Chart vs. AutoCAD Feature Comparison here
