To use a SketchUp Classic license, you need to authorize it. When you authorize a license you add your license details to your copy of SketchUp, allowing it to run on your computer.
Authorizing a License
Authorizing a license works the same for both single-user and network licenses. To authorize your copy of SketchUp using your Classic license use the following steps:
- Open your copy of SketchUp and select Add Classic License on the Welcome screen.
- In the License modal, make sure you are on the Classic tab and click Add License.
- Enter your serial number and authorization code. Click here if you need help finding either.
- Click Add License.
If you have a single-user license, you can authorize your license on up to two devices capable of running your version of SketchUp. If you have already authorized SketchUp on two devices you'll see the following message:
This SketchUp Pro license has been used on too many computers.When this message appears you must remove an authorization from a device in order to authorize another.
If you have a network license, SketchUp Pro works on a device only after your network administrator authorizes the network license and only if there are seats available. If no seats are available you'll see the following message:
Sorry, there are too many people using SketchUp Pro at the moment, all your available seats are in use, you can wait until a seat becomes available or contact your network administrator for help.When this message appears you may need to contact your network administrator to access SketchUp. For more information see Managing a Network License.
