Hi Kojo, thanks for your interest in our 'Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp' plug-in.
Downloading the plug-in is working as expected at our end, so it sounds like your security software or browser might be causing this problem.
1. If you are not already doing this, please try to download the plug-in from the 'Extension Warehouse' inside SketchUp.
2. If that doesn't help, try to download the plug-in in a different internet browser, for example Microsoft Edge.
3. If that also doesn't fix the problem, try to temporarily turn on Windows Defender and then turn off your other anti-virus software before downloading the plug-in.
As this page is for only meant to be about reviews of the plug-in, please contact us at the Lumion Support Center if none of the instructions above resolve the problem:

Hi Gary, thanks for your
Hi Gary, thanks for your interest in our 'Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp' plug-in.
The LiveSync function requires Lumion 8.3 or newer. It is not available for Lumion 8.0 and older versions.
If you have a Lumion 8 license, the Lumion 8.3 and 8.5 updates are free. You should automatically have received 'Getting started with Lumion' emails when 8.3 and 8.5 were released.
If you can't find the emails, please request help at the Lumion Support Center:

Thanks in advance.

If you are running SketchUp 2017 or 2018 and the plug-in cannot find Lumion 8.3, it is usually because the installation folder name or location has changed after you installed Lumion.
1) To check if that's the case, please type 'regedit' in the Windows search field in the lower left corner and press Enter.
2) In the 'Registry Editor' window, please press CTRL + F, type 'Lumion 8.3_is1' without the quotation marks and press Enter.
3) After a while, it should display the following entry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Lumion 8.3_is1
4) If the 'Lumion 8.3_is1' entry is not there, it means that you should re-install Lumion 8.3.
5) If the 'Lumion 8.3_is1' entry is there, please click on it and verify that the path is correct in "Inno Setup: App Path", "QuietUninstallString" and "UninstallString".
6) If one or more are incorrect, please double-click on them to correct them.
7) Then quit and restart SketchUp 2017/2018 and Lumion 8.3.
If the steps above do not resolve the problem, please request support at the Lumion Support Center:
