Prior to Transitioning

Toolbox BSB is not compatible with Windows Remote Desktop Service (RDS) environments. As such, if you happen to be using an RDS environment in your business, it is not recommended to attempt to install Toolbox BSB for use within it. This compatibility limitation does not apply to standard remote desktop connections made directly to a workstation.

Trial Process

1. A modal window will appear with instructions. Read them carefully. 
2. Click Cancel if you wish to exit without starting your trial. 
3. Click Create Trial to initiate your 45-day free trial. 
4. This trial mirrors your current OEM license setup, including the number of seats and modules. 
3. What Happens Next: 
1. A support case is automatically created, containing instructions for installation, activation, and training. This case will be marked Closed but should still be reviewed. 
2. Your trial will appear in the Licenses list on the Software Management page. 
3. The official Toolbox BSB license will be marked as Pending Conversion, and the “Start Trial” button will change to Convert My Licenses. 
4. Trial Expiration and Extension: 
1. The trial expires 45 days from creation. 
2. You can extend it once for an additional 45 days after expiration by clicking the Extend Trial button. 
3. If the trial expires without conversion, a follow-up support case will be created and marked Open, inviting you to share your status and get help transitioning. 
5. Download and Install Toolbox BSB: 
1. In the Latest Full Install column, select the desired installer from the dropdown. 
2. Click the Download button to start. 
3. After download, run the Microvellum Toolbox BSB Installation file and follow the installation steps. 
4. When prompted, enter the License ID and Password found in the Trial license entry in your Portal. 
   

Note: Starting with a trial gives you up to 90 days (45 days + one extension) to prepare your team without disrupting your current production in Toolbox OEM. You may convert at any time during the trial. However, we recommend allowing enough time to train your team and become familiar with the BricsCAD-based environment before fully transitioning.
