Can't import .dwg in SU 8 PRO!

stevet47 · 4 Mar 2011, 03:58

I downloaded the free trial of 8 Pro and imported a .dwg just fine.
When my trial expired I bought a 1yr student license, now I can't import any .dwg files!
Why did it work with the free trial, but it doesn't now that I paid for it!?

When you open SketchUp, what do you see at the top left? Does it indicate SketchUp Pro?

A student license may be no different from "free sketchup"? Doesn't make sense to me. Btw, what school are you attending?

The student license is the full pro version (just time limited). Did you receive your license info (or just "paid")? Did you enter the license info correctly? Help menu (in SU) > License...

Thanks for the help guys.
To answer the questions, it said Pro in the corner, the license info was entered and accepted.
I dont know what the issue was, but I managed to fix it.
I uninstalled all traces of Sketchup from my computer, and reinstalled it. This time, a red welcome window popped up and said, my Pro version expired (because I hadn't entered my lisence yet) and these are the features that only Pro has... blah blah blah.
That never happened the first time I installed Pro.
So I entered my license info and now all is good.

I don't know what the issue was... it seems like either cookies or something were getting it all confused, or somehow not everything that needed to was downloaded or something.
