domain.If you're distributing SketchUp across a number of laptops, you may wish to use the MSI file (Windows 64-bit installer) or to use a disk imaging package such as Norton Ghost or Deep Freeze. In the case of either distributed installation strategies, you can simplify the licensing process by including a file which will pre-populate the serial number and authorization code for users so they won’t need to type it in themselves, and SketchUp Pro will automatically attempt to authorize on the user's behalf.
You can download the standard SketchUp Pro 2015 installer here.
You can download the standard SketchUp Pro 2016 installer here.
You can download the standard SketchUp Pro 2017 installer here.
You can download the standard SketchUp Pro 2018 installer here.
You can download the standard SketchUp Pro 2019 installer here.
To use this procedure:
- Ensure that SketchUp Pro 2015 is installed on all computers.
- Ensure that SketchUp Pro 2016 is installed on all computers.
- Ensure that SketchUp Pro 2017 is installed on all computers.
- Ensure that SketchUp Pro 2018 is installed on all computers.
- Ensure that SketchUp Pro 2019 is installed on all computers.
- Create a file named
activation_info.txt
. You will need to use a plain text editor, such as Notepad (Microsoft Windows) or TextMate (Mac OS X). - In that file, add your network serial number and authorization code in the following format:
{
"serial_number":"YOUR SERIAL NUMBER",
"auth_code":"YOUR AUTHORIZATION CODE",
"allow_reactivation":true
} - Save the file and distribute it to the following location on each machine:

- In the Welcome to SketchUp dialog, click the License tab. The serial number and authorization code should be pre-populated in the fields with * symbols, saving the user from typing anything. SketchUp Pro will then automatically send the obscured license information to the Authorization server. Once the license information is validated, SketchUp will download a unique license file to the user's computer.
