No. You can use it to pay for your own college, or another relative. Or you can give it friend’s kids.

I opened a upromise account before I was even married (three years ago). I knew that some day I would have a family. My son is less then a year old and already has around $1300 for college from upromise. That $1300 cost me nothing but a few minutes of time. I didn’t open the 529 account until after he was born. I think of it as free money, why not sign up, someday you might help buy someone a book or two for classes.
