  1. Locate the Autodesk for Government switcher tool, Switch Autodesk Environment.exe, in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit and double-click to launch it.

    The language for the switcher tool defaults to English. To change the language, follow the steps described in Use Revit in Your Preferred Language.

  2. In the Switch Autodesk Environment dialog, for Autodesk for Government, click Make current.

    Note: Autodesk applications dependent on Single Sign On (AdSSO) and not supported in Autodesk for Government will be signed out when the Autodesk for Government environment is current.

  3. Click OK and launch Revit.

  4. When Revit opens, Sign in to your Autodesk Account and confirm each of the prompts to complete the sign in process.

  5. Click Go to product and click Open.

Warning: Before switching to the Autodesk for Government environment, it is recommended to close all other Autodesk applications. Failing to to so, may result in environment switch failure. If you sign into another Autodesk desktop application such as Civil 3D or 3ds Max while Revit is open, your environment will switch from Autodesk for Government to Commercial. When you return to Revit, you will be prompted to sign in again. Be sure to confirm each of the sign-in prompts and switch your environment back to Autodesk for Government before you continue to work in Revit.

When you no longer need to work in the Autodesk for Government environment, return to the switcher tool window and for Commercial, click Make current.
