You can move your license to a new computer by completing the process described below. However, you’ll need the serial number and product key listed in the license certificate, which was sent to you from registration@bluebeamops.com.

If you’ve lost this information, you can contact License & Registration to request that the license certificate be resent to you. When doing so, be sure to include the serial number, version number, your name, company name, email address and phone number where you can be reached.

Revu 2015 and Microsoft ACS retirement

Microsoft retired their Access Control Service (ACS), a cloud authentication service that authorized users to access certain web applications and services. The 2015.5 and 2015.6 versions of Revu use ACS when users attempt to register or activate a computer to a license of Revu online. As a result, the online registration process will no longer work with those versions. If you’re on Revu 2015.5 or 2015.6, see Microsoft ACS retirement and Revu authentication for more information, and instructions on transferring your license.
