Will it charge a day's worth (10 tokens) just to complete the installation at first run?

No, if you just start Revit (or any other app) once and then close it immediately (in minutes), Flex tokens are not charged.

Thank you, I ran it full for two minutes then closed, but the viewer has not appeared.  Where is the viewer mode for 2027?  I now replicated the viewer shortcut (copied the shortcut from a previous version) to read "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2027\Revit.exe" /viewer /language ENG but it just opened in full mode, not viewer.

I've ran this command from the command line "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2027\Revit.exe" /viewer and it still opened in full mode.  Now it has taken 10 tokens as well.  3 times opened for less than a minute each within 10 minutes and boom.  Terrible really.

Viewer mode was removed from the 2027 release of Revit.  For more details, please refer to https://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2027/ENU/?guid=GUID-2D1C3667-B5F0-4243-B050-DBD9D7CFAC65.

This has always worked, still does, and no tokens are used either
