We recommend transitioning to Revu 21, the latest version, as soon as possible, so you can leverage up-to-date functionality and get the most out of your investment with Bluebeam.

That said, you can choose to use an older version of Revu — even after you transition to subscription — to minimize disruption on your active projects.

To learn more about our subscription plans, check out our pricing page.

Revu 21: US English, UK English, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.

Studio: US English, UK English, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.

Revu will no longer be available via the editions (Standard, CAD, eXtreme) we offered historically. Each subscription plan includes varying levels of functionality for Revu and Studio.

For a full feature comparison, check out our pricing page.

Our most comprehensive subscription plan, Complete, gives you full access to the functionality you’re familiar with in Revu eXtreme — plus brand new features to help you extend your work into the field on web and mobile.

Your current project data inside Studio will continue to be available to you as it is today in Revu and Bluebeam Cloud web and mobile apps.

Yes! Non-subscribers can set up a Bluebeam ID, install Revu 21, and sign in to access Studio. Within Studio, they’ll have limited access to colors and markup options — such as clouds, callouts, lines, and arrows.

In Bluebeam Cloud, subscribers can invite collaborators to view files and markups, as well as interact with punch items, RFIs, and submittals on the web.

When you log into Revu 21 with your BBID, you’ll automatically be authenticated and won’t need to log in a second time to access Studio.

Currently, Studio Prime is not included with subscription. However, we’ll continue to support Studio Prime.

With Bluebeam Cloud, you can comment and collaborate on your drawings from anywhere using any web, iOS, or Android device, including tablets.

While we’ll no longer offer a concurrent user model, our new simplified self-serve licensing system allows you to effortlessly switch devices using your Bluebeam ID (BBID).

To add new team members to your account, go to the Bluebeam Web Store, log in using your Bluebeam ID (BBID), and purchase the desired number of subscriptions.

After purchasing additional seats, you can distribute them to individual users through the Bluebeam Subscription Management Portal. For more information, check out the Bluebeam Subscription Management Guide.

This will depend on how your organization is currently using our flagship solutions (i.e., Revu and Studio), as well as how your users will benefit from the new solutions (i.e., Bluebeam Cloud) and enterprise-level capabilities we’re rolling out with subscription.

If you have a reseller, please contact your reseller directly with questions about your renewal.

If you have an account manager, please contact them directly about your renewal.

If you don’t have an account manager or a reseller, your subscription renews automatically on an annual basis. Your access will continue uninterrupted. However, your credit card will not be charged. 15-30 days before your expiration date, you will receive an email from bluebeam.com titled “Your Bluebeam Subscription Renewal Invoice,” with an attached PDF invoice. If you choose to pay by credit card, follow the link in the invoice to submit payment via a secure Stripe link. If payment is not made within 30 days, we’ll contact you. Continued non-payment will result in loss of access to your subscription.

If you decide to not renew your subscription after one year, you can still access your project data (in Studio and Bluebeam Cloud) and have the ability to export it.

We highly recommend that you roll out subscription across your entire organization, so you can manage all your licenses more easily, while providing your users with the latest Bluebeam solutions.

However, if you choose to, you can start by initially rolling out subscription to a subset of your users for testing and then continue to expand usage as needed.

Yes! You can access our most comprehensive subscription plan, Complete, free for 14 days here.

All Bluebeam subscribers will get access to Bluebeam University, which includes comprehensive training materials for Revu and Studio at no additional cost.

Our Bluebeam Cloud solutions include integrated onboarding guides as part of the web and mobile app experience, so you can quickly get up to speed and learn about all the value Bluebeam has to offer.

After upgrading to Revu 21, you can expect workflows/processes to remain unchanged. The UI will be the same and there’s no difference in how features work. The primary difference is that you’ll be required to log into Revu 21 with your Bluebeam ID (BBID) to access its features.

Also, if you’d like to leverage Studio with the same BBID, you won’t have to log into Studio again since you’ll already be authenticated. Otherwise, Studio functionality is the same as well.

Revu 21 is only accessible as part of the named-user log in experience included with Basics, Core, and Complete subscriptions. All subscribers must authenticate (log in) while online and will enter a 14-day grace period when they work offline. Once that period expires, you’ll need to connect to the internet to refresh your credentials.

For more information about working offline in Revu 21, please see this article.

The installation process will be the same for Revu 21 as it is for older versions, except registration is no longer required after the software is installed.

The installation package will be similar to that of older versions in size and installation experience.

Deploying Revu 21 to users’ desktops will be very similar to previous versions — with the exception that registration is no longer required.

To take advantage of the new license management system (LMS) available with subscription, your IT teams will want to designate an Org Admin who can log into the Bluebeam Subscription Management Portal to assign subscription licenses to named users. This can be done in bulk. Once a subscription plan is assigned to a user, they can log into Revu and Bluebeam Cloud solutions from anywhere using a single ID (BBID).

Bluebeam Cloud is only available with a subscription but doesn’t require any deployment for the web experience since it can be accessed via a browser. However, your users will need to download the mobile app to their device.

With Revu 21, there are no major changes to the MSI deployment process. However, some of the parameters have changed — mainly, the serial number and product key have been removed since they’re no longer relevant for named-user licenses.

If you’re already using Studio Prime, existing integrations will continue to work in the US.

However, BBDN and Studio Prime API support is now limited:

1. No new features/updates/enhancements
2. No consultation for custom integrations
3. No debugging for custom integrations

We currently offer regional data storage via servers in the US, UK, Australia, Germany, and Sweden. Data storage is through Amazon Web Services (AWS).
