SketchUp without internet connection

Modified on Wed, 16 Aug, 2023 at 1:39 PM

SketchUp's entire subscription portfolio (Free, Go, Pro & Studio) works in a way where users log in with a unique Trimble ID, so you need a periodic internet connection.


An internet connection is required the first time you install the products in your subscription and activate your license. The desktop applications in SketchUp subscriptions (such as SketchUp Pro, LayOut & Style builder) are installed directly on your computer. For SketchUp Pro, you no longer need an internet connection to use it for 28 days after activation*. After that, your license must be validated (every 28 days) and an internet connection is required for this. Other products in the subscription may require an Internet connection to use the product, even after it is installed on your desktop.


*Certain services such as 3D Warehouse, Trimble Connect and Add Location, which always require an Internet connection, will not work if you do not have an Internet connection.


If you need to completely disconnect from the Internet, please contact your reseller.
