Are you saying the date on your computer was set to 2021 when you installed SketchUp?
Uninstall SketchUp and clean everything SketchUp-related out of the registry. shut down, restart and reinstall SketchUp.

To do it manually...
First off uninstall SketchUp.
Fix your PC's date... and anything else you have messed up.
Start > Run... > regedit
Use its 'Find' tool to look for any entries containing 'SketchUp' ?
Delete them if they appear relevant...Edit the registry with extreme care...
If you are not competent/confident don't do it...
Deleting a vital file could break your PC big time !This process might not even work, because SketchUp probably keeps a discreet 'encrypted' record of its installation date/time that will survive any uninstall and be all but impossible to find in the registry. That is done to stop you doing exactly what you ask here - to extend your trial period indefinitely by deleting entries: although in your case we believe that you are simply trying to continue its remaining use legitimately
Alternatively, you could do the drastic option - reformat your hard-drive, set up date/time etc properly in the first place, and then reinstall all of your pre-saved files and apps [including SketchUp], which will have been wiped in the process

thanks i will try to do this

i try to delete a relevant sketchup registry in regedit but unable to delete, what to do.?
-
Contact an administrator and ask for the privileges to edit the registry.
-
i deleted all registry from regedit but still i can't access my sketchup 2013 still expired
-
As I suggested before... SketchUp will probably store its initial install date somewhere discreet, obscure and secure, so as to prevent anyone from trying to trick it into remaining in its trial state by setting the clock back or hacking the registry...
So you probably won't be able to fix this without reformatting your entire PC so it's a fresh start !
Save everything externally before you think about this...
Unfortunately this is a lesson to learn - setup your PC properly before installing any software !
