Can I install Revu on a Mac using Parallels or other virtual machine tools? While we’ve heard some customers have successfully utilised Parallels or Boot Camp, we don’t endorse or provide support for these solutions. Open Licencing Open Licencing is an annual subscription that allows companies to authorise concurrent access to Revu eXtreme for any user in their company from a shared pool of seats.
Open Licencing brings flexibility and the benefits of volume software licencing to organisations of all sizes, anytime, anywhere. Seats may be added to an existing Open Licence 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.
How does Open Licencing work?. Simply launch Revu to request a seat from the, a web-accessible portal where licences are hosted and managed. If a seat is available, the Gateway automatically allocates it to the user and authorises Revu to run on that computer. Once all available seats are in use, the Gateway limits further requests for Revu to run. 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 Licencing?. Access to the. 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.

Open Licencing supports Revu eXtreme, version 2015.5 and above.
What happens if an Open Licence user loses internet access? For situations when connectivity to the internet becomes temporarily unavailable, or if a computer is outside of the office and cannot connect, Open Licence seats will switch to offline mode. In offline mode, each device is granted three days to use the programme before it is required to connect back to the Bluebeam Gateway. What happens if all the seats in my Open Licence pool are checked out but someone urgently needs to use Revu? Administrators have the option to log in to the Gateway and manually release any user whose status is inactive.
If the Administrator releases a seat while a user is working in the programme, we release the seat but also protect the active user by allowing them to continue working so that they will not lose their work. Only when they close and reopen Revu again will they need an available Open Licence seat to continue working with Revu. How are upgrades within Open Licences managed? We understand that fully upgrading software within an organisation takes time. If you own an Open Licence and an upgrade to the next version becomes available, both the current and new versions will continue sharing the same pool of seats. This allows for ultimate flexibility when your environment requires incremental upgrades. Enterprise Licencing How does Enterprise Licencing work?
An Enterprise Licence is a special licence key of Bluebeam Revu designed to help manage computer turnover. It does two things:. Automatically releases registered computers that have failed to communicate with our licencing server for 15 days.
Provides a temporary 5% overage of the total number of allowed installations. In other words, once a machine takes up a seat by registering to an Enterprise Licence, it will periodically ping Bluebeam's Licencing Server to confirm that it is still active. If the machine fails to communicate with the server for a period of 15 days, it will automatically be released from the licence key, freeing up the seat to be registered to another machine. The 5% overage, or cushion, allows for the lag time between re-imaging workstations or releasing inactive seats. If you exceed the overage allowance, an 'exceeded licences' warning will appear, and further installations will be restricted. The benefit of Enterprise Licensing is that there’s no longer a need to manually uninstall or release seats from workstations that are being transferred, phased out or re-imaged, which ensures that your licensed seats are fully utilised.
You can view or manage your Enterprise License at any time through our web portal, the Bluebeam Gateway. What are the Administrator capabilities for Enterprise Licencing?. Access to the. Count active Revu users versus available seats.
Manage multiple seats through a single interface. Invite additional Administrators to assist in managing active users How do I know if I have used all my licences? Is there a charge for going over?
With an Enterprise Licence, you gain access to the Bluebeam Gateway, a web portal for viewing and managing both Enterprise and Open Licences. The Bluebeam Gateway allows you to view how many seats of each version and edition you own, how many computers, or 'seats,' are registered to each licence, and which computers they are. As long as your total number of registered machines per edition does not exceed the total number of seats allowed plus the 5% overage allowance, you are good! If you are approaching or exceeding your limit, you can purchase additional seats or unregister licences from computers as needed. Any new seats purchased may take up to 24 hours to update and appear in the Gateway. How do I qualify for Enterprise Licencing?
There are a couple requirements for Enterprise Licencing. First, your licences must be consolidated into a single licence key by product.
