Notes
1- Using Revu for working with typical office documents:
When using Revu for general office applications, a standard, general class computer that meets the above requirements may be used.
2- Using Revu for working with large sets of engineering documents:
When working with large drawing sets (for example, construction project bid sets) in which the PDFs may contain hundreds of large format drawings, it is recommended that workstations have adequate memory and processor resources. A recommended hardware configuration would be 64-bit Windows with an Intel i5 Dual Core or better processor, as well as at least 8 GB of RAM. Revu can run on systems with lower specifications; however, a workstation with these settings will provide the optimal performance.
3- Using Revu for OCR
When using the OCR functionality of Revu eXtreme, 64-bit Windows is highly recommended for best performance.

BLUEBEAM Revu Licensing Options
Revu is offered in Perpetual and Open Licensing Formats

Perpetual Licensing
Bluebeam Perpetual Licensing is a model where customers purchase and register Revu on a per workstation basis using a serial number and product key.
+ It is available for Revu Standard, CAD and eXtreme.
+ Once you purchase a Perpetual License you own that version for life, and you can choose to subscribe to Maintenance to get the most out of your purchase.

Open Licensing
Open Licensing is an annual subscription that allows companies to authorize concurrent access to Revu eXtreme for any user in their company from a shared pool of seats.
+ Open Licensing brings flexibility and the benefits of volume software licensing to organizations of all sizes, anytime, anywhere.
+ Seats may be added to an existing Open License at any time, and they will be prorated based on the renewal date.
+ Active subscriptions are entitled to free upgrades and Maintenance, with access to our Technical Support team by phone and email.

Enterprise Licensing
Enterprise Licensing is a type of perpetual licensing designed to manage computer turnover by:
1- Automatically releasing registered computers that have not communicated with our licensing server after 15 days.
2- Providing a temporary 5% overage of the total number of allowed installations.

Licensing Frequently Asked Questions
How does Open Licensing work?
1- Simply launch Revu to request a seat from the Bluebeam Gateway, a web-accessible portal where licenses and Bluebeam Drawings usage are hosted and managed.
2- If a seat is available, the Gateway automatically allocates it to the user and authorizes Revu to run on that computer.
3- Once all available seats are in use, the Gateway limits further requests for Revu to run.
4- When an active user closes Revu, the Gateway automatically retrieves the seat and immediately makes it available for others to access.
What are the Administrator capabilities for Open Licensing?
+ Access to the Bluebeam Gateway
+ Count active Revu users versus available seats
+ View usage trends over a selectable calendar period
+ Access historical data of overages
+ Export logs, registered computers and username data
+ Manage multiple seats through a single interface
+ Invite additional Administrators to assist in managing active users

How can I be qualified for Enterprise Licensing?
There are a couple requirements for Enterprise Licensing. First, your licenses must be consolidated into a single license key by product. Second, your annual Maintenance must be current and maintained. Please note, Enterprise Licenses are not intended for Citrix or other terminal server environments.
Which edition of Revu is right for me?
Revu comes in three editions to suit the unique needs of a variety of design and construction workflows. To find the edition that’s right for you, check out edition and feature tab in this page or simply call us and ask for a Revu expert.
What is Studio?
Built into Bluebeam Revu, Studio enables powerful cloud-based document management and real-time collaboration.
If I have multiple devices, do I need to purchase multiple seats to access Revu on all of them?
A Perpetual License registers Revu on a per device basis so you’ll need to purchase multiple seats of Revu.
Are there more flexible licensing plans available?
Open Licensing allows companies to authorize access to Revu eXtreme for any user in their company from a shared pool of seats. Open Licensing brings flexibility and the benefits of volume software licensing to organizations of all sizes—anytime, anywhere.
