Moving your Bluebeam License to a New Computer
Now that Windows 7 is available, many of our users may be either upgrading their existing computers or purchasing a new computer with this latest version of Windows already pre-installed. First, it’s important to know that compatibility testing of Bluebeam PDF Revu 7.2.1 with the beta version of Windows 7 was successful, and we are now in the final stages of testing Bluebeam PDF Revu 7.2.1 with the official version of Windows 7. But, regardless of whether you plan to upgrade your computer to reflect the release of Windows 7 or not, the question of "How do I move my license of Bluebeam to a new computer?" is one we are frequently asked.
Moving your License
Your Bluebeam license can be easily transferred from the current computer that Bluebeam is installed on to a new computer, or an additional license can be purchased if you want to continue running Bluebeam on both computers.
If you want to purchase an additional license, purchasing information is available online.
To move your license of Bluebeam to a new computer, simply follow the steps outlined below.
- License Certificate
The License Certificate that was emailed to you when you first purchased Bluebeam contains important information that you will need in order to move your license to your new computer:
- Bluebeam product name
- Download Link where you can download the correct installation file
- Serial Number
- Product Key
If you cannot find the email with your License Certificate, you can request that your License Certificate be resent to you:
- Open Bluebeam PDF Revu
- From the Help menu, click on About Bluebeam PDF Revu
- You will need to obtain both the Version and Serial Number that is listed in the top portion of the window.
- Send an email to registration@bluebeam.com and request that a new copy of the License Certificate be emailed to you. Please include the Serial Number, your name, company name, email address and phone number in the email.
- Uninstalling Bluebeam
In order to release your license of Bluebeam from your current computer you must be connected to the Internet. This is because a message is sent from your current computer to the Bluebeam license server during the uninstall.

- Click the version of Bluebeam that is listed on your license certificate. Only click “64-bit” if you know that you are running 64-bit Windows. Double check your version of Windows if you are not sure.
