Unfortunately it's not as easy as that. You can only do that between two Mac or two PC licenses. They are not compatible however so you need to change your platform for a small (AFAIK $50) fee. See here: http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105608

$50. I never knew that.
-
Never mind - he'll come back when he sees his Mac license does not work on PC
-
Dammit - I am back for obvious reasons. I will have to dropbox my models from my Mac to PC until next payday. How annoying...

Nice setup - although you could have the 4Gb version of this graphic card, too - the difference (in price) should not be that significant.
-
I'd have gone 32GB ram, what did you pay?If you do not mind me asking.

That rig above was £1300 and £1680 after tax. I will upgrade the RAM but if I had chosen more Ram and a better graphics card it would have pushed over my budget.
Now I have the machine will build upon it.

As long as your happy that's the main thing.
With computers you're always chasing your tail.
Nothing more satisfying than just having something you enjoy and a few bob in the pocket for a curry.
-
Yeah and typical PC fashion have had it for 4 days and only just working.
-
Windows 8? Everything else looks great.

I already bought W7 so I thought I would get 8 to try out. I will have 7 on another partition maybe.
-
Just out of curiosity, what was the "Windows Experience Index" number? The fact that I don't have SSDs, always has dragged mine down to the mid 5's. Processor, memory, and graphics are in the high 7's.
I know this is a more or less arbitrary assignment of numbers, but does the SSD, bring your numbers up to the high 7's?

I have windows 8 and SU runs perfectly. To me, it looks like a windows 7 with some UI changes (in favour of touch screens) but nothing too much else.

I will check when I get it back to my house, currently in a taxi

My number was 8, but I still havent had all the drivers installed and running two 32" Tv's as monitors, not sure how those things can alter the results.
Here are a few pics of the machine too.
