How do I run BricsCAD in a different trial version?

When you're in BricsCAD's trial mode, you can access all the features of a BricsCAD Ultimate licence. However, if you'd prefer to test a particular version, then you can use the following instructions to set the licence level. 

You'll need to use the SETLICENSELEVEL command (previously RUNASLEVEL).
  1.  Enter SETLICENSELEVEL. The following text will appear:
    Change license level for product [BricsCAD/Communicator] <BricsCAD>: (Choose an option)
  2. Enter BCAD or click BricsCAD. The following text will appear:
    Run BricsCAD as [Lite/Pro/Bim/Mechanical/Ultimate] <Ultimate>: -- (choose an option.)
    OR
    Enter C or click Communicator. The following text will appear:
    Run Communicator with license [No licence/Trial/Full] <Trial> -- (choose an option.)

  3. Enter the version you want to use and hit Enter or select a version from the list.
  4. Restart BricsCAD to apply the changes.
You will now be able to use BricsCAD as the selected license.

Note: You can also use this command to turn the Communicator For BricsCAD on or off.
