In less than 45 seconds a moderator killed my post. So, just a heads up, it's now clear they will want to control the messaging around the dire straits of SketchUp.

you mean this one:

Advertising to move away from SU in the offic. SU forum... wow

@pixero said:

I haven't got a new license yet. Well, I got an upgraded serial ( or was that one for 2018?) but I also need a verification code. How do I get that?

via the SketchUp 'License Manager' or the supplier of your license.

The serial no of SUP v2019 needs to start with an "U".

@juju said:

go to licence manager section on their website...

besides having bought by a reseller who will then deliver the license data of rev. 2019 to the registered email address in a few hours/days.

the new sketchup free (ex "make") is here ...

SketchUp Free (Browser) is not the successor of SketchUp Make (Desktop) and besides of this available since November 2017.

for productivity improvements evolving to a Egg-Laying-Wool-Milk-Sow is urgently needed...

just kiddin'

full-quoting isn't nice either.

ranting is the new dedication

afaik a guarantee for a periodic release of new main versions is not promised.

... we can finally get rid of those pesky desktop versions once and for all.

pretty mischief.

What about SketchUp 2019??

@glenn at home said:

... You can download and install older versions of the software if you have some sort of need like to run an older version say for a 3rd party add-on or plugin that is not updated yet.

• SketchUp Forum: RfE: make License Data eligible for previous Version(s) (12/2015)

genrell gilt, möglichst hoch getakteter intel Core i5/i7 (single-thread Performance) wie den i7-7700K und eine dedizierte Grafikkarte wie die AMD Radeon Pro 850. Die Versionen mit Xeon CPUs sind preislich deutlich anspruchsvoller...

Oder einen Windows-basierten Render-Knecht mit AMD Ryzen CPU (CPU Rendering) und/oder schneller GeForce GTX (GPU Rendering) irgendwo in die Ecke stellen und über Nacht zumindest die finalen Renderings rechnen lasen.

What´s the problem here?

development of (3D) software is in general a tedious job which is prone to be postponed because of unexpected issues arising, nothing special one should be upset by.

tl;dr: sit down and relax

you can download ol' SU Pro versions (DE/EN only) down to version 6 from our SUP download archive.

Recent operating systems are obviously not supported.

@juju said:

...that there will be annual major version updates.

planned, surely.

@kdewinter said:

It's clear they are behind schedule for releasing the update.
...
Furthermore being so behind there release window...

there is no release window and no periodic schedule assured as well as not providing a desktop version never announced, full stop.

it's done when it's done, as always.

@thomthom: we do have a prospect user who lapsed the trial period and asks for a possibility to re-enable the trial again.

Do you provide license data for enabling an additional trial runtime?

What do you suggest? ZIP? 7zip?

ZIP is the standard, a 10% better compression of ARJ or 7Z typically irrelevant... besides giant video files maybe.

the used COMODO certificate is expired (21. November 2018, 23:59:59 GMT), clicking on the lock symbol (or something similar) in the browser address bar should reveal according infos.
