How Do I Deactivate SketchUp?

Are you looking to deactivate your SketchUp license? Whether you’re switching to a different software or simply no longer need it, deactivating your SketchUp license is a quick and straightforward process.

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps to deactivate your SketchUp license. Let’s get started!

Deactivating SketchUp License

If you’ve decided to deactivate your SketchUp license, follow the step-by-step instructions below:

Step 1: Launching SketchUp

First, open SketchUp on your computer by double-clicking the application icon or searching for it in your program list. Once the program is launched, you’ll see the SketchUp window.

Step 2: Accessing the License Dialog Box

To deactivate your license, click on the “Help” menu located at the top of the SketchUp window. A drop-down menu will appear. From this menu, select “License” and then choose “Deauthorize” from the submenu.

Step 3: Confirming Deactivation

A dialog box will pop up asking for confirmation before deactivating your license. The message will inform you that deactivation will make your current license available for use on another computer. Click “Yes” to proceed with deactivation.

Step 4: Successful Deactivation

Once you click “Yes,” another dialog box will confirm that your license has been successfully deactivated. You can now close this dialog box by clicking “OK.”

Additional Considerations

If you plan to uninstall SketchUp from your computer after deactivating your license, it’s essential to note that deactivation does not automatically uninstall the software. You’ll need to remove the application manually using the appropriate uninstallation method for your operating system.

Remember, deactivating your SketchUp license means you won’t be able to use the software on that particular computer anymore. If you change your mind in the future and wish to reactivate your license on the same machine, you’ll need to go through the activation process again.

In Conclusion

Deactivating your SketchUp license is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you’ll be able to deactivate your SketchUp license and make it available for use on another computer if needed. Remember to manually uninstall SketchUp from your computer if you no longer plan to use it.
