Logging Into SketchUp
Your Trimble ID is how you access the benefits of your SketchUp subscription. When opening SketchUp on a new device, please follow these guidelines:
A single-user license or subscription seat can only be used by the user who is registered or assigned to that seat.
Users can activate a license or sign into up to 2 devices at the same time.
You need to be online.
Tip: For more information about setting up a Trimble ID and the different sign-in options available, see our Trimble ID articles.

When you first launch SketchUp for Desktop, a window prompting you to sign in will appear.

After you log in, a confirmation message will appear letting you know you are signed into all things SketchUp.
If you are on SketchUp for Desktop, you can close your browser window and return to the application. On SketchUp for Web and SketchUp for iPad, you’ll see the Welcome window and can start modeling from there.
