      I bought SU Pro about 6 years ago - and love it! For the last 3 years I've been working for a studio that uses MicroStation. But now I'm starting my own company and want to go back to SU:

      My question is this - my SU tells me, when searching the web for updates - that it's the latest version. It says SketchUp 6.0 (6.4.245) when I click 'about SU'.
      But on your site I see a version 7 available...
      Why is this?

      Best regards Lene, Copenhagen, Denmark

        bcause 7.1 is the current version. the check for updates probably only checks for patches/updates to the version your using ie. ver6. not pay for it updates such as version 7.

          That's odd - I keep an SU6 installation side by side SU7 to test plugins while I white them, and it keeps nagging me to update to SU7.

              At home I think it was the free. Maybe it was the Pro expired. At work it was the Pro.

                Ver 7 has a checkbox: Preferences > General > Software Updates
                Did version 6 have this?

                If not, Registry: HKCU\...\Preferences > UpdateDefaultOn = 0|1
                (at least ver 7 has the registry key...)

                I'm not here much anymore.

                  Just to let anybody interested with the same problem know, it turned out I had to pay for an upgrade from 6 to 7. (totally reasonable, old license was 6 years old, and I paid 82 euros to update).
                  Have a nice day.

                    You can get older SU version from here:

                    Even goes back to SU5. Was a quick Google of "download older sketchup" - first one on the list.

                      Or did you actually want the new SU 7 version? And you're surprised you had to pay to upgrade?
