SketchUp 2013 Pro and Make FAQs
-
I have win7 and su2013 is still in evaluation mode.
I didn't recieved my number yet
I installed su2013 on a second machine (also win7) but there is no problem
On both machines i am the admin
-
Ahhh, i ran it as admin and the problem disappeared.
Didn't know that this username wasn't set as admin. I have to change that
Is it possible to change the language after installation?
-
Your username might well be set as admin, but you still have to force software to run in admin mode, otherwise windows will run the software in non-admin mode, just to help protect you from the evil things the software might do, like update the license.

Being 'an admin' is no guarantee that you can write to the Plugins folder or have other abilities you might hope for.
By default Windows limits security-permissions to ALL users [including 'admins'], if a folder is in the 'Program Files' tree.
The permissions should be adjusted to be FULL for all users, in its Properties>Security>Edit.
You should execute installers 'as admin' to ensure a successful outcome.
You should also set the SketchUp.exe file to 'run as admin' in its Properties>Compatibility settings check-box...
That way you should not get issues with these kinds of file/folder making/writing etc... -
Thank you TIG,
I will try to fix that tonight. -
I couldn't fix that.
My evaluation time is over and I'm still waiting for my license key.
Every few Minutes I get this popup:
(that meens the file is not writable)
I looked at my Windows settings (Win7) but I couldn't find your recomended settings.
I returned to SU 7 and stopped using SU2013, because it is useless at the moment

To get/set a folder or file's 'Properties'... select its icon and right-click > context-menu > Properties...
To get/set its 'Security' select that tab under Properties.
Then use 'Edit' to change the settings to 'FULL'...To always run an exe file 'as admin'... select the exe file's icon:
right-click > context-menu > Properties > Compatibility
and tick the 'always run as admin' check-box...To make changes like this your 'user' account must have admin-rights - set these in the Users Control-Panel...
-
I did everything you said. Unfortunately the popup is still there.
but it works if i start it directly as admin
????
-
Do you have it set to 'run as admin' under the Compatibility tab of Properties ?
That should be the same as choosing to run it as admin.
Here is how mine is set...

Ah! OK! seems to work now. Thank you so much!
