Revit 2020.2 installation - latest build

rob.pnc — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 11:23:35 GMT

Morning,

I have just installed Revit 2020 (commercial license) on one laptop to test before migrating. Download and install was from Account Management. The downloaded/installed build defaulted to the following:

When I went to double check updates, I came across several post relating to Update 2020.2.1 (On this article HERE) however I am unable to find that update anywhere...comparing the version and build number to those of the latest posted on https://knowledge.autodesk.com/ (image below) the build showing on my currently installed 2020 is not listed...I am not sure the version I have now covers that Family Corruption issue

1. Extract from https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-revit-2020-product-updates.html?v=2020&_ga=2.163455167.2002032412.1585339086-887574216.1585339086

2. Extract from http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2020/ENU/?guid=RevitReleaseNotes_2020updates_2020_2_1_html

Can someone Confirm/Advise

@mdavis22569

Its not listed in Account Manager

If I try to access it from the Despktop App it asks me to launch instead of Download/Install...When I do it just opens the current version which is installed rather than installing the update

Without showing person info ...

You're on subscription or maint?

It's likely (from what I'm seeing so far) that you're not on subscription and that's why they might not be showing up

@mdavis22569

Refer to the original post...I am on a subscription account.

I am neither a beginner nor is this the first installation so if you are trying to guess a solution, please spare both of us the waste of time..thanks

whats with the attitude?

if you didn’t want the help why did you post here?

from the details it says After this update is applied successfully, the build number specified in the Help > About dialog will be 20.2.11.3.

your running 20.2.12.1 which is a newer build

So your first image didn't show ...

And I'm seeing people weekly WHO AREN'T on subscription (and believe they are or are on MAINT not Subscription) and are missing updates because of it.

I don't have access Account Manager ... was trying to lead a hand.

It's not in you Desktop App nor your Account then you have something else going on.

@Anonymous

No attitude in the above and no offense the same goes to you. Making guesses doesn't really not help. This base/clean installion that resulted a build no. 20.2.12.1 which is not listed on Autodesk's website. The Question is Clear: Are all pervious updates (including 2020.2.1 that fixed family corruption issue) compiled in build 20.2.12.1 OR NOT?

PS: The question is addressed to those experienced in installation/deployment/setup who came accross this before or to an Autodesk team member who can confirm that this build covers all previous updates...maybe @natasha.l could shed some light on this issue considerring that it is related to her post HERE

So to answer my question on why I asked

*Requires a subscription contract for Revit 2020, AEC Collection 2020 or a 2020 Design Suite which contains Revit 2020.

So it would include it in 2020.2.1 update ( 2020.2)

Otherwise ( like they do for most Autodesk Products) you would still show 2020.2 on the list and 2020.2.1 as well.

They also make note to show the following too:

2020.2 Update*

Expired – Replaced by 2020.2.1

I'm not an autodesk employee but I have seen this in previous versions (autodesk should confirm soon)

2020.2.1 was a hot fix published 2 days after the family corruption issue was identified in February 2020.

20.2.12.1 (which you have) is the upcoming/later version update not available on desktop-app and Account Manager which they seem to have already compiled in the new installation files

So you should be good
