How do I set up a portable license? Is there a server component?

Posted by & filed under .

  • Setting up a portable license is easy, just activate with your license key and you are done! The license is managed in the cloud and your key is the connection to the license pool so there is no server component to install or manage. This also means that you can use the license anywhere you have an internet connection, not just in the office!
  • Note that if you are installing to many machines you will need to return the license on one machine (either by manually returning or by shutting down Revit depending on your settings) before moving to the next machine otherwise you will start to get ‘no more licenses available’ messages once you get to your max number of licenses. As an alternative, you can deploy the key directly to user machines without actually activating the license.
