Although you're long out of support you might try contacting SketchUp Customer Support to see if they'd be willing to release the license. Don't hold your breath but they might take pity on you.

I don't believe the old licenses were handled by the Trimble Indentity Manager but it's worth a look.

Might have to do that.

Are you able to manage your devices or does 2016 not use the trimble identity management page?

Unfortuantely when I try to create an a account it says my email address is already in use, but when I try to login it says there is no account with that email address.

...my sketchup 2016 license. I had it installed on my computer, upgraded the motherboard, and now I have a license issue because it thinks I installed it on more than one computer. I can't "un-license" the old copy on a computer that doesn't exist. Also, "SketchUp can't reach the network license server."

Any suggestions?

Pretty cool! Reminds me of a Ray or an Octopus lifting itself off the sandy bottom of the ocean.

I use my Dual 570s in SLi on just the one monitor. What I'm REALLY Jonesing for is a good set of Oculus Rift VR glasses when they come out with a retail version.

But anyway:

Very nice. I'd post mine, but I've only got a plain black background with 1920x1080 resolution and a mostly stock SU setup.

The tighty-whitey of desktops.

It's caturday!

Sorry...

Is that a triple-wide monitor setup?

I use 8 Pro and never use LO. Is there any reason I should switch? Personally, none of the wish list items I would have deemed most useful made it into this version, so I'm not inclined to swap...

However, if it is discernibly faster I might be convinced to try it out so long as it and 8 can happily coexist l.

Corporations are manufacturing uncertainty about scientific findings.

I would hazard a guess that the answer is yes to both questions, but a quick search yields no particular data on how much soil is consumed by plants during a growth cycle. They must obviously consume something, because plants do not grow magically in nothing, however the physical amount of material must be negligible. Plants do consume nutrients in soil and repeated use of the land for crop growth would require replenishing those nutrients, ergo more fertilizers will be needed.

The cables show that diplomats often specifically targeted scientists and academics to accept the biotech industry's uncritical approach to GM foods, and would simply repeat company's claims that GE crops increase productivity, combat global hunger and strengthen economic development opportunities - and all with a lighter environmental footprint.

Partly because consumer opinion is against GM in Europe, the EU has remained largely resistant to US pressure so far, especially when it comes to its labelling system for GM products. But Moldenhauer warned that this could change soon, when new transatlantic trade agreements begin negotiations in June. "The so-called 'mutual recognition agreements' could mean that Europe would have to accept the US authorizations of its products," she said. "Then GM crops could be forced into the European market."

Didn't we have this guy's video here a while back? I was surprised to see her doing exactly the same thing.

Pretty cool. Needs a volumetric fog or something to darken the underwater area. Otherwise the caustics are really nice.

I'm sure that anybody with enough money and equipment to be into road building has plenty of friends in the government so penalties will be minimal, if any.

What a tragedy.

Check the pricing and see what happens after the initial "new customer" period expires. I had AT&T for quite a while when I lived in TX and while the service was ok, the price continually escalated. They give a great deal and then it slowly goes up after the first 6 months/year/whatever. I started out at $35 (this was 10 years ago) and by the time I left their service 2 years later the price had more than doubled. They didn't give me nothing for my money, though - there were continual bandwidth improvements throughout the time I used their service. Just not double. We're with Comcast now, and they do the same thing. Great initial price, but you gotta look a the other end and see what the real price is going to be.

So, my experience with AT&T was good speed and reliability (Cable/cable internet), but ever-increasing price.

Fascinating. It works fine now. Please disregard the previous. Restarted SU.

^^^ Yep. Is this an issue with the plugin or is the list of downloadable plugins incomplete and being updated? I was looking for "repair broken lines" and noticed it wasn't listed. If incomplete or missing, would you like any missing files listed here?

I first attempted to access it via mobile and got a 500 Bad Gateway error. My thought was "Typical, first webpage and I get the first error!" Works fine on a desktop computer.
