Hardware requirements are based on a number of factors, including the expected number of simultaneous Studio Sessions, and the number and size of PDF files for Studio Sessions, markups in Studio Sessions, and Studio Projects. It is recommended that you consult with the Bluebeam Technical Support team if you would like assistance estimating the anticipated usage of Studio when defining hardware.
