Upgrading a Classic version to a Pro version

It is possible to install a Bricscad Pro version without uninstalling an existing Classic version. You only need a Bricscad Pro installer (or the installer from a Bricscad CD) and a valid Pro license key.

 

NOTE

  • A valid Pro License key must be entered before or during the installation (and not after). This because the licensed features are installed only if they are authorized by the active licence key !

  • It is not possible to upgrade a Classic trial version to a Pro trial version.

  • VBA (included in Bricscad Pro) is never installed in Evaluation mode.

To upgrade an installed Classic version to the Pro version

  1. Run the Bricscad Pro installer (or the installer from a Bricscad CD).

  2. Select the Modify option.

  1. Click the Next button.

  2. Accept the license agreement, then press the Next button.

  3. In the Licensing Information dialog box, click the Modify... button.

  1. Enter the new Pro licence key  in the License Key field to replace the already installed Classic license key.
    If the licence key was sent to you by mail, it is recommended to copy/paste the key from the email message into the License Key field.

  1. Press the OK button to confirm the license key.

  2. Press the OK button on the License Information dialog box.

  3. Select the Pro features: ACIS Editing and VBA .

These features are only selected if a Pro licence key was previously installed.

Do not unselect other (installed) features : unselect a feature means uninstall it !

  1. Click the Next button to finalize the installation.

The Pro features VBA (menu Tools > Visual Basic... > Visual Basic Editor.) and ACIS Editing (menu View > Toolbars > Solids Editing) are available now .

 

NOTE

In Evaluation mode (30 days trial period) Bricscad Pro is installed as a Classic version because the Pro features are not installed with a trial license key. After the trial period you need to run the installation again in order to install a Pro license key and the specific Pro features: VBA and ACIS Editing.
