I have a license. Can I switch to a subscription?

Last updated on 04 Jul 2025

If you have an expired Mac-only license

You can switch to a subscription at any time, just follow these steps:

  1. Open your web browser and sign in to Sketch. If you don’t have an account, create one for free here and get started with your Workspace.
  2. Click on the Settings icon at the top of the left sidebar, then click on Billing.
  3. Click on the Set Up a Subscription button
  4. Choose a subscription plan (monthly or yearly)
  5. Continue to payment to complete the purchase, and you’re all set!

Once you switch to a subscription, there is no need to use your license key or renew your Mac-only license. Instead, you use the email and password you created in Step 1 to access Sketch.

If you used Sketch with a Mac-only license before, you must unlink it. Launch the Mac app, head to Sketch > Settings from the menu bar, navigate to the Account tab, and select Unlink Device. Alternatively, access License Admin and remove all devices using the Unlink option.

If you have an active Mac-only license

Please get in touch with our support team — we’ll help you make the switch towards a subscription.
