I purchased a perpetual licens for Sketchup 2018.
I co-created the AEC application for AutoDesk Inc.
and have been using Sketchup since it’s inception.
When Sketchup went to subscription, I decided to not participate.
I have an extensive library of Sketchup Models that I need to access.
And expample is a prototype I created at: Unity WebGL Player | Microflow_APTEST
For some reason, all copies of Sketchup.exe files (DLLs remain) have been removed by someone from my system.
I was sent a copy of my active license for 2018.
When I try to load it, it says I am not on Internet, which is not correct.
Then it tells me that my license is not valid even though it was sent to me by a Sketchup Customer Service person.
So, I am no longer able to access my perpetual license.even though I fould a copy in my backup files.
Meahwhile I am now using Blender and Unity 3D which is a far superior set of applications. In fact Sketchup suddenly stopped being able to be transfered into Unity 3D which is a big problem for serious developers.
So, I am not sure why Sketchup refuses to let me access my perpetual license. And I am unpleasantly surprised that a Sketchup employee would give me a copy of my license that Sketchup now says “does not exist” …
I was just wondering if anybody else is experiencing denied access to their perpetual licence and if any group is assembling to do anything about it. I would be interested in joining such efforts as I don’t believe previously loyal customers of Sketchup should be treated this way. I enjoyed the use of Sketchup in the past until they became relatively less functional for development work.
