Subscription Advantage Pack for Revit 2011 Installation

System Requirements

This Subscription Advantage Pack consists of two separate components: an application update, Revit 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack, and a server component, called Revit Server 2011. An installation of Revit Server may function as a local server or a central server. However this document does not draw any distinction between the two, as the installation and removal requirements are essentially the same for both.

Revit Subscription Advantage Pack

Verify that you have applied Revit 2011 Update Release 2 onto your installed version of Revit 2011 product.

Revit Server 2011

Systems hosting Revit Server 2011 must have:

Microsoft Windows Server® 2008, 64 bit (not 2008 R2)
Microsoft IIS 7.0
Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1
Refer to the Revit Sever Installation Guide supplemental documentation for more detail on system prerequisites.

Revit Server Administrator requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or newer. The Silverlight plug-in will also be installed as a byproduct of using this application.

Installation

Before you install, verify that Windows Update is not in progress. If Windows Update has installed or updated files and the system is pending restart, restart your system before attempting installation.
