Hi …  
Need a bit of help. Complete newbie to Sketchup. Just upgraded to the $119 Sketchup Go but seems to be still on the Free version. I launched ‘Sketchup for Web’ from the ‘My Product’ page. After I clicked on ‘Start Modelling’ button, Sketchup was launched but at the bottom left hand corner, the prompt ‘UPGRADE’ appears. This shows that I’m still very much at the Free version. I also try ‘Edit Material’ which again resulted in the ‘UPGRADE’ prompt.

Thanks.  
SC

Visit my [myprofile.Trimble.com](http://myprofile.Trimble.com) and make sure SketchUp go is allocated to the account you are signed in with.

If it isn’t and you see an area marked “members” then you need to modify the products available to that account

Yes. It is allocated. In fact, I launch GO from within the ‘My Product’ page.

Try this boring, but effective things - clear your browser’s history and temporary files.

You could also try a forced refresh by holding the shift key and clicking the refresh button

Actually the error message is indicating that you are not using the `Import` menu but you trying to use the `Open` menu instead…
