I would prefer to have the font formatting set from bold to non-bold because of better readability.

thx,

@HornOxx said in How to get and activate a NEW SketchUp Pro:

My (first) 3 questions are
1.
the purchase of the Pro version worked perfectly - but where do I get the software from? I can't find a download link anywhere.

download either
from the SketchUp download area (Trimble ID req.)
https://www.sketchup.com/download/all
or the SketchUp Help Center
https://help.sketchup.com/en/downloading-sketchup
or the SketchUp license portal at the page "My Products" (Trimble ID req.):
https://www.sketchup.com/download/my-apps

Where can I get the licence key (or is there another way of activating)?

there is no license data (serial no./auth. code) required anymore since the discontinuation of the perpetual license ('Classic') in 2020, for activating the recent subscription license your registered email address is used. Ensure that you have confiremd the initial Welcome email from Trimble ("Manage Account") from the date of purchase for doing this.

How can I control that I get an English language version then?

for Windows the new Common Installer does contain all languages as well as several additions/plugins already (thus that big), select the desired language in the second dialogue.

...Ttat is the main reason the intitution found SU unacceptable

a GMail account is still not needed for using the SU educational licenses (dunno the K12 stuff).

you (SCF) could integrate a dedicated 'Meta' sub-forum outside the theme-based sub-forumus for posting issues concerning the forum itself or SCF-related announcements and questions etc.

Windows: for an extended extension (and not a simple plugin) with an own installer (EXEcutable) for a complete uninstallation (incl. e.g. program settings) you may want use the according uninstaller typically provided by the software control panel tool of the Windows control panel ("Win+R > control...").

go to "Window > Model Info > Statistics > Whole Model" and hit "Purge Unused" to get rid of the unused stuff as materials or component definitions etc.

You could also use TTs CleanUp plugin which gives you more information what is done during the cleaning.

If nothing helps, unhide everything, switch on all layers/tags, select verything and copy to a new document.

• Release Notes
• Reference Cards (localized)

you could open the SU program directory at:

C;\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 202#\

and delete the sub-directories "\LayOut" and "\StyleBuilder".

Don't be surprised if glitches may happen.

you could give Eneroth 'Legacy Save' plugin a try.

the login problem ("auth. token cannot be used") might not be solved for everybody by logging out/in but sometimes requires what I've elaborated above.

The proper way would btw not simply logging out/in but closing SU/LO inbetween.

according to Trimble this issue ("auth. token") caused by a security update of the license servers should be fixed in the meanwhile.

If nothing helps, deleting the SketchUp "login_session.dat" file should resolve the problem.

...or is it like the previous Classic license and I just quit getting updates and can continue using it? Also, does the Pro Annual plan include the iPad version?

that would be nice, shell out some peanuts and use it forever... scnr

yep, the SketchUp Go version for iPad is included.

1. Latest i7 or i9 Intel CPU. The more threads the better.
