"What is the 5 minute kludge you refer to?"

A while back I got a new whiz-bang computer, with Windows Vista loaded onto it. When I installed SU6, the license complained at me, telling me that it was expired. Uninstalling/reinstalling makes no difference.

I contacted Sketchup and they kindly gave me an executable that reset the clock by 5 minutes...but it is sort of like putting a bandage on a broken leg.

It "might" have been intended to be a good fix, I mean, it works, but i gotta jump through the hoop (run the executable) every time I initialize the program.

... but the really frustrating part is that Layout and Style Builder don't understand that and just_won't_work.

grr.

I figured I could wait 'til SU7 because I have a corporate license at work, but, of course the license is on a server somewhere else on the planet and neither program has the patience to look for it, so Layout and Style builder are useless, here, too.

grr^2.

I'd just like the dumb "extra 5-minute" kludge to go away so that I don't have to run it every time I open SU6.
