      Hi!

      Had to reinstall Windows Vista after a terminal harddrive failure. Found out that Sketchup Make 2015 doesn´t install on Vista. Where can I found a download link to an older version that will work? I don´t remember what version I had on my crashed harddrive.

      Tried a 2014 version but it never went into "free mode" after demo expiration time. What can I do? This is one of my favorite programs 😢

        SketchUp versions <= v2014 will run on Windows Vista.
        For commercial use of 'Free' SketchUp you need <= v8.
        Whilst you can be assured that Trimble's downloads are 100% safe there are other ways to get earlier versions, e.g.
        https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr%26amp;ei=p1D4VJTTBKSN7AbYsIGIAg%26amp;gws_rd=ssl#q=older+versions+sketchup+download
        However, view these sites with caution, and virus/trojan check any installers you might get that way...

          Ok, thanks for the info.

          I found Sketchup Make 14.0.4900 at filehippo.com. Seems to work & no annoying pro licence countdown. Hopefully it´s not filled with trojans & crap.
