Consider keeping your applications current part of the cost of doing business.

I am considering but when considering purchasing a visualization application, I was looking for a permanent license program, currently having 3 Skethups and Vray versions, I have to pay a Skechup subscription annually and purchase new Vray versions because the current ones will not work with the new Sketchup. When switching to a time license, I have to take into account paid Vray time updates. Having a company, we also have many other costs, and such decisions are quite important.

SketchUp 2018 and older suffer from this change that was made to Chromium. Since these old versions haven't been supported for three or more years, it's unlikely there'll be any change. You can still search the 3D Warehouse from the Components panel in the Default Tray or you can go through your Internet browser. It's always recommended that you download components from the 3DWH into a separate SketchUp file so you can check them over to check them and clean them up to make them suitable for use before you add them to your project.

This seems to be the solution at the moment. Using the browser to search and Default Tray - Component to download. Thank you!
However, I think it's not fair what Sketchup did, suddenly an important function stops working and the only solution is to buy a new version ..

Hi!
I have the original Sketchup 2018. I have not been able to get to the Warehouse via the program for several days. I heard from the vendor that "Warehouse is adapting to new technologies, so it changes the code, and that there is no obligation to support older versions, so Warehouse will not run on them." For me, it's a smart way to force the purchase of new time-limited Sketchup licenses. Is there a way around this? Maybe make some kind of extension? I can't imagine downloading models via a browser every time, a waste of time. I am asking you for help.
