Just tried to go in and use the warehouse and that is usually an automatic thing for me. Warning from Trimble that I’m no longer allowed to sign-in via Google unless I upgrade my license. So I can understand why that is on one level (though the upgrade option seems totally self serving of Trimble)…

The way I read that, Google should have e-mailed its users to let them know this option was going to be removed from applications that used their sign in. Is that correct? I quit using my Google sign in for SketchUp years ago so I wasn’t affected by this change.

In addition to what I had previously said (thanks endlessfix), if you sign in with your Google password a few times, into Trimble, it will lock you out. Doing a forgot password gets around that, and is as fast a way to get the Trimble ID going as any. And after all, you haven’t yet made a password t…

DaveR, Am I wrong to expect that? Seems like a simple thing to me

[image] thearkskp: Am I wrong to expect that? I don’t know but since it was a Google thing, it seems reasonable to expect Google to let you know.

Google did announcements a long time ago. 2019.3 was release in part to prepare for Google cutting us off, and then the earlier than 2019.3 sign in screen was altered to give people a way to adapt. The wording could perhaps be better.

A google thing? Seems like it is a Sketchup/Trimble thing also to me…maybe I’m wrong. It affects my use of a Sketchup/Trimble product, so why isn’t Trimble/Sketchup informing me that something Google has had in place to use their software is being removed and we legacy users will have to login a d…

I guess Trimble/SketchUp have tried to deal with it by making updates but like other things that have changed, Google’s change of location services, Windows discontinuing of support for IE, and Apple’s release of Catalina for example those changes can only be made for the currently supported versio…

One interesting thing, which in the end is a great relief, is that the sign in screens in the earlier versions were web based. Imagine if those pages were internal HTML, we would have to update 15 previous versions of SketchUp.

This could be due to the change that Google recently made to how the google ID sign in works. Check this thread on signing in with google ID in pre 19 SU. You can still use 18, an upgrade is not required.
