SketchUp 2025 School Network Lab Licenses Network Lab Licenses are intended for installation on computers in a lab/classroom situation, and are floating, concurrent licenses. The license file used by Networked Lab Licenses is managed in the cloud and requires a constant internet connection to keep track of how many licenses are being used at a time. With this option, you receive a serial number and an authorization code to activate the software on the computers. Installation Instructions When do Lab Licenses expire? All Lab Licenses expire 1 year from the date of purchase. Free updates to the latest version of SketchUp for Desktop are provided during a license term. Please email your name, school, and serial number to sketchup@creationengine.com when a new version of SketchUp for Desktop ships for a free license update. SketchUp Network Lab Licenses only includes SketchUp 2025 for Desktop and Layout. SketchUp Network Lab Licenses do not include the other components in SketchUp Studio such as Add Location, Sefaira, PreDesign, AI Render, SketchUp for iPad, and Mixed Reality (XR) Viewer. Who qualifies? Trimble SketchUp Network Lab Licenses are available to accredited educational institutions for use in instructional settings. Educational institutions who would like to use Trimble SketchUp for any purpose other than teaching students do not qualify for educational pricing and would need to purchase the commercial licenses from Trimble. Research and Facilities/Planning departments within educational institutions do not qualify. Networked Lab Licenses cannot be used for commercial (for-profit) work of any kind. Individual students cannot purchase lab licenses and must purchase SketchUp Studio for Students 1-Year License.
