That's great thanks! Unfortunately they are experiencing problems in processing license key requests. Do you know if one can download Google Earth Pro and use it for a trial period? does one need the key to test it?

After submission if you get error, just try to reload the page, Browser will ask you to confirm to resend the data, and the next time you should be done. And it takes much lesser time than filling out the whole form anyway.

Update: Sign up is no longer required for Google Earth Pro. Click here to download Earth Pro, then sign in using your email address and the License Key GEPFREE.
