Ideate Software Installer is a one-click tool to help deploy Ideate Software throughout an organization. The installer package includes all the MSI files for the most recent versions of all our desktop solutions. It can be used manually by individual users or with a network admin tool that supports “EXE’s”, such as SCCM or PDQ Deploy.

We make it easy to install our products. If you don’t get a Bundle, simply open the “IdeateInstallers” folder and remove the MSI for any product or version you do not wish to install. As an alternative, use the command line switches. 

We offer two network licensing options: FlexLM and Cloud

1. FlexLM : Requires the installation, setup and maintenance of a virtual or physical license server. With FlexLM license type, each version of Ideate Software opened on a workstation will use up a separate network license seat.
2. Cloud: does not require a license server and allows each user to run multiple versions of Ideate Software while using up only one network license seat.

Ideate Software tools install into the Ideate Software tab in Revit. To access Ideate Software tools, simply open any project and then select the appropriate tool from the ribbon. Most Ideate Software tools can be launched with any active view, but the view-specific tools will only launch with their intended view types active.
