Teaching semester is going to start soon and students will be using Revit 2017. There have been a number of updates & hot fixes since 2017 was released in April last year so I thought I would consolidate what you need to do and where you need to go to get the latest.
Revit 2017
1. Visit: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/download
2. Select 'Free Education Software'
3. Search for, download & install Revit 2017 using your student ID.
Service Packs
There have been 2 service packs released. You will only need to install Service Pack 2 as this includes Service Pack 1 updates.
1. Click Here to go directly to the Service Pack 2 web page.
2. Scroll down the page and click the execution file as shown in the image below.
**So on the day this was posted Revit 2017.2 was released! Reading the release notes, 2017.2 "contains the fixes included in previous Autodesk Revit 2017 patches". Therefore, I have removed previously posted links for 2017.1 & the UK terminology hotfix now included in 2017.2. If you still require these links, visit previous posts here & here.
