Licensing

There are 3 options for licensing with Revit Architecture:
Standalone: A standalone license is associated with one computer. In addition, you can transfer a license
from one machine to another with a standalone license. For more information, see
on page 13.
Network: A network license is not associated with one computer. It can be installed on a network server,
and then multiple computers on that network can use that license to run Revit Architecture. In addition,
you can borrow a license from the license server and use it outside the network environment for a specified
time. For more information, see
Demo: A demo license allows you to use Revit Architecture as a viewer. You can open projects, export
them, and print them. However, if you make changes to the project, you cannot export or print it.
