Free Sketchup Pro licenses in the UK?

[Gongalong]

Has anyone had any luck getting free education licenses of Sketchup Pro?

 

Sketchup's site suggests it's possible if you're a state school, albeit a US-centric page https://www.sketchup.com/plans-and-pricing#for-primary-and-secondary-education

 

The "Learn How" link from the page takes you to a reseller selection list, and there is one commercial reseller listed there, and seemingly a representative from West Berks county council. The former have replied to say they no longer issue the licenses, and the latter hasn't replied.

 

Needless to say Sketchup don't seem to provide a simple email address to contact, so I'm trying via Twitter and their forum.

 

I suspect there's not much hope, but any other schools that have managed it, or other ideas?

There used to be a map showing the parts of the UK that were eligible for the free SketchUp Pro "K-12" licenses. I believe Cambridgeshire was one.

 

Edit. I found the Edugeek post (it was Cambridgeshire, Worcestershire and Northern Ireland)...

I also found the map...

I remember there weren't many because my school had to pay for the Pro version. The grant certainly didn't cover the whole of the UK.
