      Today's the day:

      https://www.vray.com/vray-for-sketchup/

      Does anyone know how much it is to upgrade from an old version (I think 2, 2009) to the new 3.5?
      I emailed them but havent got a reply.

        You could check with your reseller (Many web-pages have upgrade info up now, for example: http://trinity3d.com/vray-sketchup-plugin/).

        Also, note that it's 3.0, not 3.5 (Yes, it's half a version behind.)

        Also, just a note about an earlier post - you will need to rebuild your vray library if you are going to Vray for Sketchup 3.0 right now, since most old vray materials do not convert.

          Thanks Andy, I will have to dig out my old invoice to see exactly which version I do have currently.

            OK, so I finally got an email back about upgrading which I'm entitled to do thankfully for the reduced price. But I am required to send them some code from my Vray dongle in order to reprogram it. The downside is I don't even have a dongle?!
            Does anyone else that is using Vray for Sketchup get a dongle when they purchased it?
            I sent an email back to them notifying them of this but have got no reply.

              If you have 2.0 you should have a dongle. That was their only licensing system. How were you running 2.0 without one?

                I bought Vray back in 2009 so no dongle. Looks like I cant upgrade then, what a weird system.

                  Just to round this up, had a different reseller email me just now confirming that I cannot upgrade from v1.49 due to the dongle. Bit angry that my usual reseller nearly duped me into spending $250 for something I wouldn't have been able to use!

                    I'm confused about Chaosgroup resellers policy, is it absolutely necessary to buy their software based on geographic location? Why such a strange system, in 2017, instead of simply buying directly to Chaosgroup?

                    I mailed my country's reseller with several questions, but no reply.

                      Had to same problem here. Most have just failed to respond. I am certain Chaos group are missing out on a ton of sales by not allowing to purchase direct.
