Bluebeam Plans allow you to access Revu 21, Studio, and Bluebeam Cloud on up to five devices using a single login. Your Bluebeam ID (BBID) is the login you use to access your account. If you don’t already have a BBID, you’ll be prompted to create one when accessing these services. After creating a BBID, you’ll be able to sign in to all Bluebeam solutions with a single email and password. You can also sign into Studio using a different BBID from the one you use to sign into Revu.

With Revu 21, the named-user license(s) applied to subscription seats are managed via our new license management system. For more information, please visit the Bluebeam Subscription Management Guide.

Bluebeam allows you to create your BBID in Revu 21. You can also create your BBID via web browser.
