I can't start my free trial

Before contacting our Technical Support team, please check that:

  • You're signed in with the same Trimble ID you used to request your free trial.

  • You're connected to the internet.

  • You're using the latest version of SketchUp.


If you've checked the above and still can't start your trial, please contact us.


Check Your Trial Status

You can view the remaining days of your free trial at any time from the top-right corner of the SketchUp Home screen.

When your trial expires, you can upgrade to a SketchUp subscription to continue accessing your projects and premium features.


Can I extend my free trial?

No. Each Trimble ID is eligible for one 7-day free trial, and the trial period cannot be extended. To continue using SketchUp after your trial ends, you'll need to purchase a SketchUp subscription.
