SketchUp 2014

How do I upgrade with an Educational License? The website diverts you to their 'educational reseller' but the companies don't specify free downloads of 2014 if you're a current 2013 user. Should I go back to my UK reseller to request a free upgrade?

In the PluginStore for the failing plugin click More Info.
If you are redirected to the forum then report the bug there.
If you are redirected to a Plugin Page. Click feedback and then report bug.

What about upgrade price from SU8? I haven't seen any info about it yet.

In the last day or so there have been lots of posts about v2014 - read those - for example...

You must NOT blindly copy plugins across from older versions.
Some will work, but some might not.The major Plugin authors have been working with Trimble flat-out [in secret] over the last few months to ensure that their Plugins are compatible with v2014, and of course keeping them usable in earlier versions too.
Use the PluginStore or EWH to get/install the latest versions of your Plugins into v2014.
Add a few at a time so you get to trap any issues...There might still be a few that new upgrading, so if you find one let the author know in the Plugin's thread.
It is usually straightforward to make such Plugins suitable with the latest [improved] Ruby which is now shipped with v2014...PS: I have merged this into the main v2014 thread...

Sorry for disturbing the bad mood coming up with each new version of SketchUp, but I'm happy with the new release and all my installed plugins (>100) are working perfectly...
...... b b but if I remember correctly! Oh! I see now Cotty

I am very skeptical about this release.. One thing that had got simpler in 2013 (plugin installation) has become a new nuisance, because the plugin folder has changed position...
Not sure what to think about it.
It has copied all my shortcuts from 2013,which is nice.. but.. there's is still something that has got me unconvinced.
(I will avoid asking for a 64 bit version, since you are not going to make one ever..)

There were hundreds of problems discussed in this forum because of missing permissions for the plugin folder. The change seems a good way to solve all those problems?! If you use one of the two recommended ways to install plugins (Pluginstore or Extension Warehouse) you will not even notice the change...

Still tiny ass thumbnails in components and material browsers... what the hell people?
Still no improvements to how to print as in the 21st century.
Adjust the window to size of print/scale??? Really? -

@arail1:
The Plugin menu button does not appear on the Menu ribbon until you install a fresh plugin. This is something not yet documented in the Knowledge Center help.sketchup.com (so far as I know), nor has anyone explicitly enough included this in the threads I have read. Of course, you do know that the plugin destination folder is now under "...AppData...Roaming" and this path has been explained.I might mention that, in order to see a couple of plugin toolbars after loading, I had to restart 2014. But this also happened a few times in 2013version. And they weren't simply lurking among my desktop icons. No big complaints.
Thanks for that.
Because so much of the chatter on the forums is about plugins and installing plugins, it might be wise for someone knowledgeable to post a sticky that summarizes all the useful info that's scattered throughout these threads - where to install them, the info you provided about the Plugin button, etc. -

Jan, it's $95 for a single license upgrade from SU8. More info here: Upgrading to SketchUp Pro 2014

Thanks. Now I have to talk to my boss...

no windowizer, no chuck vally plugins, no 1001bit tools.. and many others
Trimble what have you done??? I can understand you were busy developing revolutionary new arc tool but why to ruin the other people done

So you would suggest to stick with an old Ruby because not all old plugins work on the first day after this update? Most of the plugins were updated in the background in the last month (BIG thank you to the authors), some are repaired in the last few days (e.g. flattery) and perhaps the remaining will follow in the next days...
-
Maybe we need a "Report 2014 Broken Plugins Here" topic to consolidate and track these problems?

It' obvious- I'd suggest some kind of support for plugins that people use for years.
P.S. and I forgot to reply: this release.. is one huge dissappointment! -
