I assume some Folks here are keeping an archive.  
I thought i did, but can’t find it anymore.  
Could someone help me out via a PM?

I know this is pretty old software, but i used it until 2017/18, then stopped.  
Until now. I need to do small-ish work in Sketchup and LayOut building on an old project, so using the old software might be even beneficial in terms of being quicker remembering the old way vs. learning the latest UI/Workflow.  
Trimble is unwilling to provide files, even on request.

Any input welcome.

As has been presented here on the forum before, you won’t be able to activate your license even if you do find an installer for it. Colin posted this yesterday in response to a similar request.
