Google Earth Pro

Not sure if this is the right place to post this; but as of now Google Earth Pro is free to use (it used to cost $400 for the software license annually).

The Pro version lets you record HD virtual tours of the earth; a pretty handy tool.

Pretty much. Just tested it again and it worked for me.

Worst case, just go through to the original link at the beginning of the thread and make sure you note the bit where Google has added to the rego page that you can now download a copy without jumping through the registration hoops.

Of course it works for you Andrew, (otherwise, I guess, you wouldn't post it to us ;-) I just wondered if anyone else could use it.

Actually, it might be because you're Down Under -- as we all know, everything works differently there ;-)

I tried it for Mac and its not free at all, it asked me for a license key provided or to Buy it new.

Guess its restricted to specific parts of the world rather than every place, others may try it and let us know if it does work.

Yes i had the same issue, asked me for a license key, but i'm pretty sure i just clicked on it (Sorry bad memory) & it gave me the license key. It did ask for it, but then gave it!! So you may find it is still free!!

Noa Put · February 7th, 2015, 03:21 PM

No license key here, if I recall right I just had to log in using my google gmail and that's it, haven't found any restrictions so far.
