Yes! Slightly new, compared to version 2024.

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

For macOS you need 12 (Monterey), 13 (Ventura), 14 (Sonoma) or 15(Sequoia).

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:

Can I use SketchUp 2024 and SketchUp 2025 simultaneously?

Yes, that's possible. SketchUp 2024 and SketchUp 2025 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 2024 and 2025, 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!
