I originally had one befere the switched to subscription. and now Im wondering if there is a way to switch back because my parents told me that the pro plan is too exspensive (for context, im 25 and still living with them) or alternativly, are there any cheaper plans that still include the desktop app? (I can’t switch to GO because I don’t have an IPad and most of my models are to heavy for the web version)
There is no Classic license available for SketchUp and hasn’t been for about 5 years. There are two subscription plans that include the desktop version. Pro and Studio. You can see the prices for the plans at sketchup.com
SketchUp Go also allows you to use the browser based version (with more features than SketchUp Free and no hobbyist use limitation) however you do need to maintain control over your models so they don’t get too large. Actuall I have a few very large models that do work well enough with SketchUp Go in a browser.
then you still have it. you need to find the installer for your vintage.
I did some digging and found two classice liceces i’ve purcheds, one with “maintinence and support” see below email:
so my question now is, can I get either renewed with a new activation code for the most recent version?
No. You cannot. That license was good for SketchUp 2020 and support ended on the last day of 2020.. You can no longer purchase a Classic license. Only subscription licenses are available.
If you can find the installer for SketchUp 2020 you have the information to license it. I would suggest you remove the image since someone else might use the information to activate SketchUp 2020.
You should also have a serial code for SketchUp 2021, as your support an maintanaince contract was still active when that was released.
Bear in mind that if you took Trimble up of their offer to migrate to a discounted subscription, then you may have for forfeited any further activations.
