      I bought a 2016 Sketchup Pro license and was pleased that I could get Sketchup 2016 to run under wine in Ubuntu Linux!

      However, the Sketchup "Add License" button doesn't work! Nothing happens when you press it.
      The temporary license has run out, so I can't use it until this licensing problem is sorted out.

        You really need to ask about this from Sketchup themselves, however I suspect you might be out of luck as Linux is in the unsupported section of the Hardware and Software requirements.

          I also have heard that when you license your copy of 2016 you can no longer install and run 2015 on a new machine; so no going backwards!

            I've also heard that Yoga is being banned in western countries for being culturally insensitive.

            None of which are necessarily true or bugs.

              I have exactly the same problem with SU pro 2015 and Su pro 2016.
              There are however no problems with installing my Su pro 2014 version.
              I am running these version with play on linux on my ubuntu machine.
              If somebody of the Sketchup team is reading this, please consider at least working together with the wine developers to make a working version for linux for the next release.
