Manual Installation

Once a new account is created, an email will be sent providing a link to download the Guardian installer as well as the Company ID.

Once the installer is downloaded, open it to run, the setup wizard will appear. Click Next to continue.

Read through the license agreement and click I Agree. Click Next to continue.

Select who to install Guardian for. It is recommended that you select All Windows Users. Click Next to continue.

Select the desired Revit versions to install Guardian for. There are two pages for the different versions; one for the currently supported versions of Revit and the second for the unsupported versions. Click Next to continue.

Guardian will prompt for the Company ID. The Company ID is used to make sure all users within a company are connected. If set incorrectly, users will not be able to utilize the full capability of Guardian.

If the Company ID is set incorrectly, it can be replaced in the Guardian.key file located in one of these two locations:

• Program Data > Guardian
• App Data > Local > Guardian

Click Next to continue.

Click Close to finish installation.

Guardian is now ready to be utilized! To take advantage of the Project/Company Administrator features, login through Licensing > Admin Login.

For end users (non-administrator users) of Guardian, their accounts will be authenticated automatically through the Company ID and will be able to use Guardian immediately when opening a registered project! No user management required!
