It looks as if this paragraph was written in the good old days, when you could buy a CD with the program files on it…
There is a legal workaround, I guess, in the first part of the EULA they talk about individual and entities
This Software End User License Agreement (" Agreement “) is between Trimble Inc., located at 935 Stewart Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085 USA, or the affiliate identified on the Order Form, and its affiliates (” Trimble “) and the customer (individual or entity) that has downloaded or otherwise procured the licensed Software (as defined below) for use as an end user (” you “). This Agreement covers any Software and supporting user or technical documentation provided with the Software (” Documentation ").
The (individual or entity) part is interesting, since I have created multiple Google (and Trimble) accounts in the past.
You could say I am more then one entity…(Father, Employee, business owner, chairman of the local Hockeyclub, etc)
This part only talks about 'One User Account 'per user, thus making it possible to create multiple Trimble IDs per entity:
2.4. User Accounts.
_ 2.4.1. Account Creation._
In order to use the Software, you may need to create a valid user account (“User Account”). Currently, you can create a User Account by signing in with a valid Google ID (a username/password combination used to access your Google account) or Trimble ID (a username/password combination issued by Trimble). To sign in using a Google ID, you must authorize Google to share account information with Trimble and you must maintain your Google ID in good standing subject to any separate user terms between you and Google. The authentication information Google provides to Trimble or you provide to Trimble may contain personally identifiable information, which will be handled by Trimble as described below, and we may publicly display the username and profile photo (if any) associated with your Trimble or Google user account. You may not create more than one User Account per individual user.
So here is the workaround for SketchUp 2019:
- Install SketchUp Pro on any device you think you are going to use (Mac, Windows, Laptop of your doughter, Laptop in the shop, desktop in the Reception at work, etc…)
- If you have subscription, log in at startup on these devices, but, more important, log out when finished!
- If you cannot log out or forgot and to many devices are ‘tied to your entity’ , go to your Trimble Account on the web and manage your Trimble subscriptions, were you can Deauthorise all machines
Edit: before anyone hops in:
‘With the new version, you can now read between the (dash-dot-dash) lines…![]()
