SketchUp Ends Classic Licence Sales

Trimble ended new SketchUp Classic perpetual-licence sales in November 2020 while existing licences continued to work.

Archive notice: This article covers SketchUp licensing announced in June 2020. The deadlines and prices below are historical and no longer represent a current offer.

Trimble announced that new perpetual licences for SketchUp Classic would stop being sold on 4 November 2020. Existing perpetual licences remained valid, while maintenance and support renewals were limited by the transition timetable.

Classic licence transition

Customers could still buy a Classic perpetual licence with maintenance before the cutoff. Under the announced policy, maintenance renewals could extend no later than 3 November 2021. Trimble directed customers to an end-of-Classic FAQ for the detailed support and renewal rules.

Historical subscription tiers

The 2020 announcement listed annual prices of US$119 for SketchUp Shop, US$299 for SketchUp Pro and US$1,199 for SketchUp Studio. Those figures are archived context, not current pricing.

Studios should verify today’s plan terms, offline access, extension support and seat-management rules before changing licence models.

  1. Das treibt die Hobby-User in Richtung Blender und Co…
    Ich boykottiere diese Zwangs-Abomodelle(keine Auswahlmöglichkeit zwischen Kauf-+ Abomodell)…

    1. Finds echt auch nicht gut – aber natürlich versuchen die Firmen den Gewinn zu maximieren – bis Blender allen den Rang abläuft :P Aber wenn sie auf die User verzichten woillen, dann ist das halt so :(
