System Requirements

The first task you need to complete is to make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. If your system does not meet these requirements, problems can occur, both within Autodesk Revit LT and at the operating system level.

Whether your Windows operating system is the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, the version is automatically detected during installation. The appropriate version of Autodesk Revit LT is installed. A 64-bit version of Autodesk Revit LT cannot be installed on a 32-bit system and vice-versa.

Refer to the hardware and software requirements.

• In previous releases of Autodesk Revit LT, the program and content files were installed as part of a single installation package. For Autodesk Revit LT 2015, the installation of content files has been broken out into a separate installation package, Autodesk Revit LT Content Libraries 2015. Program related installation settings, including desktop shortcut, discipline, UK terminology, project path, and service packs, remain part of the original Autodesk Revit LT 2015 installation package while content related installation settings, including content packs, default content, and configurable folders, are now associated with the new Autodesk Revit LT Content Libraries 2015 installation package.
• The Autodesk Revit LT Content Libraries repair process will not restore missing content files. If you need to restore missing content files, running the Autodesk Revit LT Content Libraries reinstall process will accomplish this goal.
• If the default content setting is modified through the Autodesk Revit LT Content Libraries add or remove features process, the UserDataCache and user profile copies of the Revit.ini file are not updated to reflect this change. Running the Autodesk Revit LT repair process ensures that both copies of the Revit.ini file are updated to reflect the new default content selection.

Refer to the online Autodesk Revit LT 2015 Known Issues document for details on in product feature limitations.
