Entering and activating a BIMO license key

4. Restart Revit

After successful activation:

  1. save all open projects;

  2. close every running Autodesk Revit session;

  3. start Revit again.

The restart is required so the available commands, subscription plan, and workspace branding are applied correctly.

The key does not activate

Check that:

  • the full key was entered without extra spaces;

  • the computer has internet access;

  • a company firewall or proxy does not block the bimo.tools services;

  • Windows date and time are correct.

Do not send license.json to another user. The file is protected by Windows and is tied to the current Windows account.

Contact BIMO support if the problem continues.
