We are currently setting up Revit server on new server hardware as recommended by Autodesk. We have a consultant doing the installation. We currently have all but one of our projects on 2012, but our joint venture partners and MEP engineers want us to move up to 2013. This will require us to invest in new machines for our users. (Win 7, 64 bits, you all know the specs). I asked about 2013 on XP a few weeks back and everyone agreed it won't work very well.
The network consultant tells us that Autodesk did a lot of work on the Revit server in release 2013 and it is a much better product. But we consult on projects all over the US and expect to have projects that are not always on the latest version. I anticipate we will need 2012 and 2013 simultaneously. We also have a 2011 project, but that can't use the server at all. And, 2014 isn't far away......
Can the Revit Server 2012 and 2013 coexist on the same server, with project X using 2012 and project Y using 2013? We would never mix files. That is a well established principle with Revit.
Does anyone have it set up this way? How is it working?
