Cloud sketchup like Adobe creative cloud
-
Oh... and welcome to the forum Shinya... don't take our dismay too seriously. Your idea has merit. I just don't think I would like it. Others may well.

That would be the worst thing that could happen. Please any admin delete this thread before anyone at Trimble gets any ideas...

You're cruel Thom...

Too late...

Sigh!

Who's Spanky?
I just Googled for a gif with "throwing away Money"... -
Who's Spanky? Oh my... You've missed out. The original Little Rascals.
-
I guess they never reached fame in Sweden.
-
-
They reached Norway!
-
-
They reached France too.
Sales gosses... -
While I respect the opinion of the OP... it would be the death of SketchUp.
I will no longer purchase Adobe products because of their "Creative Cloud".
Cloud base for SU?
No thank you. -
OMG! Little Rascals is going cloud? Is that what this thread is about?
Wonderful. They never made it in Japan, you know...
I think there are some confusions in the original proposition.
The title mentions to "Adobe Creative Cloud (basically a form of licensing strategy)", then shinyaohno says something about AWS (Amazon Web Service, Software-as-a-Service model).
If my memory serves me correct, your software is on your HD with ACC, whereas you don't install software to your HD with AWS. You do your computing with ACC, they do (most of) your computing with AWS.
From the context of argument, I assume he means AWS, not ACC.
Say that is true and I don't agree with him.Seems to me that most of SU's performance problems come from its own backbones. SU at its current state cannot utilize what's available in our workstations to its fullest; therefore, it doesn't look like it is a kind of problem that can be solved with Rubies either.
Going cloud is a tremendous investment, I hope that Trimble rather puts that check into 64bit, multi-threaded, GPU-powered version of SU.
My two cents. -
"Software-as-a-Service" is a creation to force users to pay for ever for something without owning anything if you stop subscription. No thanks!

if you stop subscription, you owe the last version you have been paying for
SU2013 maintenance is about 75$ a year
so it is not the future: it is already happening...

I was taking about Adobe Creative Cloud. If you stop subscription you are left with nothing.
