Hello Everyone, sorry to sound like a sap. But after my daughter confiscated my laptop I am trying to install 2018 pro on my imac only to conveniently find I cannot download it from the site. Really horrible and uneccessarily complicated. Anyways, I saw mention of sending a download or a link and was hoping someone would be kind enough to share with me as well. Peace and love to all.
Read my post third up from yours. I provided the link to SketchUp 2018.
You just saved my bacon 
Mac died and I had to reinstall everything on the new laptop. Couldn’t find SU2018 anywhere! Thank You!!! (and ■■■■ Trimble for making it so hard to re-install purchased, legit, software)
Don’t you use a backup system? Especially on a a Mac and when Timemachine installed, it’s fairly easy to migrate from an old or lost machine.
Sooner or later, hardware will fail.
From a business point of view, they want endusers to come along and pay and use the ‘latest and greatest’ so that’s why they probably only have the last three available.(and, for some reason, Make 2017 which can convert into Pro when activated with a valid license)
A download link in the email sent through the license checker would be nice, but I would not count on that to happen, for they are switching to subscription.
You could convert your 2018 license into a subscription for one or two years with a discount and keep the 2018.
Theoretically, it would be ‘Your Product’ and could popup in your AMP with a download link.
Better make a hard copy of the software while you can.

Hello everyone
I managed to download the 2018 version by going to the page to download older versions:
But you’d notice the 2018 version isnt there.
So I just copied the link for the 2019 version and renamed 2019 to 2018 and it worked!
The link for Windows is this: https://www.sketchup.com/sketchup/2018/SketchUpPro-en-exe
So if you need the MacOS version, you might be able to do the same (I havent tried).

I had to uninstall 2018 and cant find it to reinstall on my computer. I think I was eligible for a free 2019 upgrade but never did it. Can someone help me get 2018 back on my computer?
Read the earlier post suggestion by @dm1. 
Works for Mac and Windows:

Hi Colin, I have the same issue with Sketchup 2018 version, wanted to try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that could fix my connection issue, can you send me the download link?
I tried to make the changes you suggested for the connection problem:
ONLINE_TEST_URL = https: //www.bing.com, but it didn’t work, can you help me?
Bonjour Colin, j’ai le même problème avec la version Sketchup 2018, je voulais essayer de la désinstaller et réinstaller pour voir si cela pouvait résoudre mon problème de connexion, pouvez vous m’envoyer le lien de téléchargement ?
J’ai essayer de faire les modifications que vous avez proposé pour le problème de connexion :
ONLINE_TEST_URL=https://www.bing.com, mais cela n’a pas fonctionné, pouvez vous m’aider ?
Someone reported that a / needed to go at the end of the line for the change to work for them. So, try this:
ONLINE_TEST_URL = https: //www.bing.com/
I just did it still not working
try if
ONLINE_TEST_URL=https://www.sketchup.com
helps.
Always not
What more can I do, it still doesn’t work. Cdlt
Colin I have a few tech issues (new Hard drive) I could really use 2018 also.
It is the only version
I have been able to dimension with. 2017, 2019-current versions, the dimension text is so small when I export it is unreadable. This is very incredibly frustrating so if you have an answer to that Id love to hear also. Unfortunately this happens with small drawings as well as large area drawings.
