Brick Books → The free trial

Fourteen Days, on Your Own Books

No card, no account, and nothing to cancel when it ends.

The demo shows you a fictional LEGO® seller's books.

The trial is the same program running on your books, with your own BrickLink and Brick Owl orders in it. That is the only real way to find out whether Brick Books suits the way you work.

Download Brick Books

The 14-day trial starts the first time you open Brick Books. You do not need an account and no payment details are required.

How It Works

  1. Download and open it

    There is nothing to sign up for and no card to enter.

    Your 14-day trial starts the first time you open Brick Books, not when you download it.

  2. Use the whole program for fourteen days

    Nothing is held back.

    Every feature is available, including marketplace syncing, receipt processing and the end of financial year pack.

  3. Decide

    If you buy Brick Books, paste your licence key into the copy you have already been using and carry straight on.

    Everything you entered during the trial is still there.

What Happens If You Do Not Buy

Nothing disappears and nothing is locked away.

This is the part many trials are vague about, so here it is plainly.

Keeps working indefinitely

With or without a licence, you can still:

  • open and read your books
  • edit and correct existing entries
  • search your records
  • view reports
  • back up and restore your books
  • export your data

These are business records you may need years later. Brick Books is deliberately designed so that ending a trial does not take them away from you.

Waits for a licence key

After the trial ends, Brick Books stops doing new licence-dependent work, including:

  • recording new entries
  • filing new documents
  • synchronising new marketplace information
  • processing receipts automatically
  • generating new end of financial year packs

Add a licence key and those features start working again.

Questions People Ask Before Starting

Do I have to enter a card?

No.

There is no account, no card and nothing to cancel. Download Brick Books and the trial starts when you first open it.

What happens on day fifteen if I do nothing?

Brick Books keeps opening and your existing books remain readable and editable.

The parts that create or bring in new work wait for a licence key.

Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away.

Will I have to set everything up again if I buy?

No.

Paste your licence key into the copy you are already using under Licence & Help and carry on from where you left off.

Your books, settings and receipts stay exactly where they are.

Is the trial a cut-down version?

No.

That is deliberate. A trial that hides the useful parts does not tell you much about whether the program actually suits you.

Can I put my real orders into it?

Yes, and that is really the point of the trial.

Brick Books runs on your own computer and your books are not uploaded to a Brick Books server, so you can test it with the figures and orders you actually work with.

Made-up data can show you what the buttons do. Your own data tells you whether the program is useful.
