Activating SketchUp Pro

Note: Each product license is intended for use by a single named user, a real person using their first name, last name, and email address, for the duration of the subscription term. The person using a license must match the person assigned to that license when purchasing or renewing a subscription.

Last updated 17 July 2026

When opening SketchUp on a new device for the first time there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • A subscription seat can only be used by the user who is registered or assigned to that seat.
  • You can activate a license or sign in on up to two computers.
  • You must be online to validate your license or subscription.

To start using SketchUp, follow these steps:

  1. Open SketchUp.
  2. The Welcome to SketchUp window will appear.
  3. Click Sign In .
  4. A new browser window will open asking you to sign in using your Trimble ID.
  5. After a successful sign in, a message will appear letting you know you can close the browser window and return to SketchUp.

Checking Your System

If you are having issues while using SketchUp, but aren’t sure what is causing them, you may want to check your system for compatibility issues. The good news is that you can do this with utilities already available as part of your operating system.

Digital Signature is Invalid or Missing

SketchUp has a digital signature imprint from Verisign, so if you receive a message that there is an invalid digital signature or no digital signature, the likely cause is that installation file was corrupted during download. In that case, clear your browser's cache, and then try the download again.
