Cannot open Layout

[bowlr]

When I try to open Layout I get the following error msg: Layout has stopped working

and the usual Windows 7 msg that Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found???

Looks like we are OK, did another uninstall/reinstall

There has been a very long-standing bug with LO where it crashes on startup.
It happens when the 8-hour demo period is over and SketchUp converts to Free.
Then when you try to start LO it isn't licensed and tries to force-exit the app,
but it crashes instead. We have mostly seen this in non-English builds.
We think we have this fixed in the next release of 8.0 (M1). But LO won't
start anyways since the license is expired.

I experienced that LO wouldn't start - it'd become unresponsive after the Tip of the Day window appeared.
My SU Pro is registered. But I had changed it from a demo license to a new one.

I restarted it a few times and got the same behaviour. Then I let it just sit there for a while, a couple of minutes, and then it became responsive again. Could it be that it was authenticating the license - and thereby hanging the app until it got response?
