Create your Altaïr account
After purchasing your Thea Render Sketchup license, follow the instructions and tutorial below to access your space as a new customer. To begin, you will receive an invitation email from Altair with an Activate Altair Account button to create a new dedicated account. Click on it. You will be prompted to create a password for your account on the Thea Portal.
Once you have chosen your password, to manually access your subscriber area account, enter a personal email address (preferably using the email you used when ordering the license) and enter the password. You validate the last step to activate your user account.
Once you have completed the “create an account” and “activate your account” steps, it’s time for the first connection. You will then access your personal Thea Render Sketchup space, including your dashboard, which will confirm that your license activation has worked: the Subscription Info counter shows a needle pointing to green with the number of days remaining.

HOW TO Pass Thea Render in French
Regarding the management of the Thea Render account, it is of course possible to modify an account or elements of this client-account without going through a total reset. For example, go to Extensions > Thea Render > Preferences to switch Thea Render to French. Once redirected in the window that opens, the language selection is in the General tab (first option “language”): select “French”, then close the window and restart SketchUp to apply the change. All that’s left to do is log in to your account again!
Offline
Want to log in to your account without going through Chrome, Internet Explorer or another search browser? No problem, you can select the offline mode that uses the server license on the specific machine. Thea Render will remain enabled on that machine without the need for an internet connection until the license expires.
Use a proxy
If your machine is behind a proxy, you will need to enter its address and port. The username and password allowing you to access the proxy must also be entered if necessary.
Important
All actions performed in the license window require an internet connection. If you lose your connection, the license will be deactivated after 30 minutes and then reactivated the next time you connect to the internet.
