SketchUp Classic License
SketchUp Classic Licenses and all related products are no longer available. SketchUp Classic Licenses, also known as Perpetual Licenses, allowed users to purchase a version of SketchUp and continue to use that version as long as they have access to it.
Classic Maintenance & Support plans offered upgrades to the newer versions of SketchUp as they were released.
SketchUp is now available through a yearly subscription. The benefits of a subscription plan include:
- Access to all the latest features and improvements.
- Frequent and timely updates.
- Quick and easy account management, including user and device management.
- Pro Technical Support.
- Auto-renewal of your subscription.
- Collaboration, data management, and file storage through Trimble Connect.

Classic License Questions and Answers
Can I authorize my SketchUp Pro subscription on more than one computer?
Yes, you can! The SketchUp End User License Agreement (EULA) allows for the installation and authorization of each application included in your subscription to two instances or devices.
If you have already authorized your applications on two devices you will need to deauthorize one of them before installing and authorizing on a new device. Take a look at Deauthorizing Devices for help with managing your activations.
How can I access my SketchUp Pro serial number and authorization code for older versions?
If you have a Classic License for an older version of SketchUp, our License Manager can help you find your authorization code. You do not need an authorization code if you have a SketchUp subscription.
How do I remove activations from my license?

How do I transfer a SketchUp license to a new Computer?
A single-user Classic License is associated with one person. That individual can install the license on up to two (2) devices they use. Only one device can run a specific version of SketchUp at a particular time.
Note: Classic Licenses for use with SketchUp 2017 and older versions can no longer be used to authorize SketchUp. These versions are no longer supported. For more information see End of Support Policy.
To transfer your Classic License from one device to another follow these steps:
- Remove the license from your current device. See Authorizing or Removing a License for more information.
- Install SketchUp on the new device. Download links to supported versions of SketchUp are available here. SketchUp does not provide download links for unsupported versions of SketchUp.
- Enter your license information during installation to authorize SketchUp.
If I upgrade to a new version, can I still use my older versions of SketchUp Pro?
The short answer is yes! Please note that once SketchUp ends support for an older version of SketchUp we will not be able to provide any download links or installation files for those older versions. See our End of Support Policy for more information.
Where can I find my SketchUp Classic license (Serial Number and Authorization)?
If you have a Classic License for an older version of SketchUp, our License Manager can help you find your authorization code. You do not need an authorization code if you have a SketchUp subscription.
Can I use my existing Classic License and a subscription product on the same computer?
Yes, you can.
