Revu Installation Guide

This article applies to:

• Revu 20
• Revu 2019
• Revu 2018

This guide will teach you how to install Revu on a single computer. If you’re an IT Administrator attempting to deploy Revu across multiple computers, see the IT Admin Handbook.

Pre-installation checklist

• Update Windows: Check your Windows updates and complete any pending reboots, as failure to do so may cause issues with the .NET Framework and Revu installations.
• Save your work and close any running programs, as the system may need to restart before the installation is completed. If you are a Studio user, check in all Project files and ensure pending Session items have been uploaded to avoid potential data conflicts between versions. 
• Need to keep your existing Revu installation? You should determine if you need a Side-by-Side installation. 

Install Revu

• Download the latest version of Revu:
• Open the Revu installation file you downloaded from the Download Center. 
• When the InstallShield Wizard dialog box displays, select the desired language and click Next.
  
• Select your language from the dropdown.
• If you have an earlier version of Revu already installed (Revu 2016 and above), the Installation Options dialog box will appear.
  • Click Upgrade if you want to update your existing software to the latest version (e.g., Revu 2019 to Revu 20.)
  • Click Side-by-Side if you are installing a new version of Revu to evaluate before purchasing. This way, you will be able to keep both instances of Revu on your computer.

Choose an installation option if you have an earlier version of Revu already installed.

• Click Install after selecting your choice.
• When the Bluebeam Registration appears, enter the Serial Number and Product Key listed on the License Certificate that was sent to your email from registration@bluebeamops.com at the time of purchase.

Enter your serial number and product key to register Revu, or select Use as Trial.

• Click Register. If you haven’t purchased a license yet, or would like to complete the registration at another time, click Use as Trial. 
• Click Finish when the final installation dialog appears. Do not start Revu or the Bluebeam Administrator until you click Finish and the final installation window closes.

The installation is now completed. You may need to restart Windows before proceeding. Save your work and close any running applications before restarting.
