Do SketchUp licenses expire?

SketchUp licenses may be subject to different terms depending on the type of license you have. It's important to note that software licensing terms can change, and new versions of software may introduce different licensing models. Therefore, it's advisable to check the official SketchUp website or contact SketchUp directly for the most up-to-date information regarding license expiration.

Here are some common scenarios related to SketchUp licenses:

1. Subscription-Based Licenses:

   • If you have a subscription-based license (SketchUp Pro subscription), it typically involves ongoing payments. As long as your subscription is active and payments are up to date, you have access to the software. If you cancel your subscription, your access to SketchUp Pro may end.

2. Classic (Perpetual) Licenses:

   • SketchUp has historically offered "Classic" licenses (perpetual licenses) that allow users to own a specific version of SketchUp without ongoing subscription payments. The license is perpetual, meaning it doesn't expire for the specific version you purchased. However, major updates or new versions may require a separate purchase.

3. Educational Licenses:

   • Educational licenses, such as SketchUp for Schools or SketchUp Pro for students, may have specific terms tied to educational institutions or student status. These licenses may have different expiration or renewal conditions.

4. Trial Licenses:

   • SketchUp often provides trial versions that allow users to test the software for a limited period. Once the trial period expires, users may need to purchase a license to continue using the software.

Always refer to the terms and conditions associated with your specific type of SketchUp license for accurate and current information. If you have questions about licensing, it's recommended to contact SketchUp's official support or licensing department for assistance.
