Update SketchUp version 2024

Modified on Fri, 19 Apr 2024 at 03:45 PM

Can I try SketchUp 2024 if I've already tried SketchUp 2023?

Yes, the demo versions have been reset. This means that any user who has accessed the SketchUp 2023 demo can also access the SketchUp 2024 demo.


Where can I view the full release notes?

The full release notes can be found in the official SketchUp Help Section.


I have a Subscription. How do I access SketchUp Pro 2024?

You have direct access to the latest version via the AMP, in-product upgrade notification or via a direct download link. Download SketchUp 2024, install it on your machine, activate it with your Trimble ID (TID) and you're ready to get started with SketchUp 2024.


Do I have acces to SketchUp Pro 2024 with my classic license?

No. You can switch to a Subscription to use the latest version of SketchUp.


How do I access SketchUp 2024 with my Educational Classic License?

You will receive the new code from your reseller to upgrade to the latest version of SketchUp. In the meantime, you can get started with the 7-day demo version.


Please note that activating your SketchUp Pro 2024 Classic License will affect your SketchUp Pro 2023 Classic License. A network license of SketchUp Pro 2023 will be set to 'Pending' after activation of the 2024 license and will no longer start 60 days after activation.

Does SketchUp Pro 2024 have new system requirements?

Yes!


You have at least a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or Windows 11. 

For macOS you need 11 (Big Sur), 12 (Monterey), 13 (Ventura) or 14 (Sonoma). 

Previous versions are no longer supported. Newer versions are only supported when stated. 


Also pay attention to whether your computer meets the following hardware requirements:

  • 2.1+ Ghz Intel Core processor
  • 8+ GB of RAM
  • For the old graphics engine: 1+ GB video memory, OpenGL 3.1 or higher
  • For the new graphics engine:

    • Mac: Metal 2

Can I use SketchUp 2023 and SketchUp 2024 simultaneously?

Yes, that's possible. SketchUp 2023 and SketchUp 2024 are separate programs and can run side by side on your computer. Even at the same time! You can have LayOut installed at the same time, but - on Windows - you cannot start it at the same time! However, for clarity of use we recommend to work in only one version of SketchUp.

NB:

If you activate both versions 2023 and 2024, you use two activations of your Subscription. If you use too many activations, you will need to reset them. Check out this article to find out how!
