What’s the difference between Studio and Studio U.K.?

Until now, Studio has been hosted exclusively on an AWS instance hostedin the U.S. In order to better serve its European customers, Bluebeam has started up a separate AWS instance located in London.

Due to data law restrictions, the data stored in these servers must be kept separate. For this reason, Studio U.S. accounts cannot be used with Studio U.K., and vice versa. This applies to Studio Sessions and Projects as well: a Studio U.S. account cannot access Projects or Sessions on the U.K. server, and vice versa.

Studio U.K. is capable of running all Studio Project and Studio Session features — however, Studio Prime is not currently available.

Which server should I use?
Choosing which server to use depends largely on the needs of you and your company. Consider the following:
  • Your local laws may affect where you can store certain types of data.
  • Do you already have important data stored on one of the servers? Copying data from one server to the other must be done manually.
  • Which server do your colleagues use? Since Studio accounts as well as Projects and Sessions are incompatible between servers, you may have difficulty working with certain colleagues in Revu.
Which versions of Revu are supported?

Studio U.K. is fully supported by Revu for iPad 3.9.5. Please update your software through the App Store®.
