- It’s called “rlm.exe” on Windows and “rlm” on Mac and Linux.
- Copy the file “bricsys.set” in the same place.
- 6. You need to know your computer host name and system ID for the license.
- Host name is how you named your computer so you should know it.
Otherwise Google it! - The system ID, how is called by RLM, is the MAC address of your main network adapter.
- To get it easily: launch BricsCAD, on the Launcher screen click on button “Activate License”.
- The license manager will open, click on the link “Activate manually…”. Your computer host ID
aka system ID is displayed on the right of the windows.
- Host name is how you named your computer so you should know it.
- 7. Now that you have all info, open the file “bricsys.lic” in a text editor like Notepad or VIM.
- Replace <HOST_NAME> by your computer host name.
- Replace all occurences of <HOST_ID> by your system ID/MAC address.
- Save changes.
- 8. Copy the license file in the RLM server directory.
- 9. Start RLM server.(If you dont know how to do that, check RLM_License_Administration.pdf) but if you kept all in same folder just run rlm.exe
- 10.Start BricsCAD, click on “Activate License”. Pick “Server name or address”. Enter your computer
host name or it’s IP (most likely 127.0.0.1). - 11. BricsCAD is now activated with all modules.
