I have up-to-date SketchUp Pro 2018 License. When I sign into Layout it says trial ends in 29 days. How do I update Layout?

It looks like you have not entered your license information in SketchUp Pro. Once authorized, LayOut will run in standard, rather than trial mode.

Aaron:  
SketcoUp runs just fine

All info has been entered correctly  
including updated authorization number  
Including updated license info

SketchUp Pro runs as expected  
LayOut runs as Trial
