Revit 2019.2 - Initiate Collaboration Failed

[sascari]

Hi,

When I go to upload my model I get the "Failed to initiate collaboration" error. This is a clean install of Revit with all the updates listed in the Autodesk App manager installed.  I have looked through other posts and have hit a block in terms of finding a solution. Attached screenshots indicate current version and error dialog. Any advice welcome.

Thank you.

Looks like you are using Revit LT, which does not allow worksharing.  But you can however use this file from Revit LT as a Revit Cloud Model in Revit 2019.2 and later, which will host it in a BIM 360 Project, but will not allow multiple people to work on the file at the same time worksharing)

@scott_d_davisThanks for the response. You are correct. i had not realized I was on LT. This is the home license as part of the AEC subscription our office has. Is it possible for me to obtain non-lt under this subscription model? BIM 360 is a big part of how our office is operating at the moment.

Actually, I just re-verified I don' know if it's LT. How can you tell?

@scott_d_davis(Sorry for spamming, but the forum won't let me delete/edit old posts). It seems to work now. This is what I did:

1. Went to ava.autodesk.com

2. Reinstalled Revit 2019

3 Applied the 19.2 hotfix

If I go through the Publish model to cloud dialog tree and it works now. I don't know if I was on Revit LT previously. My previous version installation/activation was from a Trial install so maybe that had an impact?

Glad you got it working!  I looked back at the posts, and I'm now not certain you were on LT either!  I quickly saw your screen shot of the version/build info, and saw that it said "Revit LT", but now notice that it lists Revit and Revit LT.  I think it may have had something to do with the Hotfix you installed, which was necessary for a security update.  Again, glad to hear its working well now.
