SunDAT for SketchUp support ends on January 04, 2022

 

October 4, 2021

 

First, we want to thank you for being a SunDAT customer and for your continued support. Today, we are announcing the end of support for SunDAT for SketchUp as of January 04, 2022.  Further, we are also ending the sale of SunDAT for SketchUp, effective October 4, 2021.  

 

SunDAT for SketchUp will NOT be available for SketchUp 2022 (expected to be released soon) or any further SketchUp releases. SunDAT for SketchUp will only be compatible with earlier SketchUp versions (2017-2021).  You should not purchase the upgrade to SketchUp 2022 for the purpose of SunDAT.  After the end of support date (January 04, 2022), you will still be able to use SunDAT for SketchUp on your machine at a limited capacity.  However, new updates, including new equipment to the global library, new features, or bug fixes, will not be provided anymore.

 

While we are ending a great chapter of SunDAT, we are really excited about the progress we are making with SunDAT Web, our web-based PV design software.  As a customer, you have access to the SunDAT Web Premium version right now which gives you unlimited access to the program.  To learn more, please visit www.sundat.io and register on the website to begin using SunDAT Web.

 

Regarding billing for subscription, your subscription will automatically be switched over to the SunDAT Web Premium pricing plan starting on January 01, 2022.  If your yearly renewal date is after January 01, 2022, you will start paying SunDAT Web Premium pricing on the next renewal date after that date.  Please see the table below to understand which price plan you will be switching to, based on your current subscription.
