SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

[TIG]

If you have installed the latest version of the extension & LibFredo, AND the SketchUcation toolset [which deals with the licensing] and restarted SketchUp... then you might be able to release/manage you licenses on the SketchUcation.com website - use the menu item Extensions/SketchUcation/SCFLicense: Global Status... and click the button in the dialog My Licenses at SketchUcation which should open your own page at SketchUcation.com [you might need to log in...

[GM2013]

It's really not rocket science.
Have you read the licensing guide ?
You seem to be making something from nothing !

Try this...

Download your license file and store it somewhere safe on your computer.
Open Sketchup and find the extension you have now got a license for [usually under its own submenu under Tools].
In that extension's submenu there's a 'license' sub-item.
Use that which will open a dialog.
Validate its license by clicking the appropriate button...
Then find the saved license file and validate it.
From there on your extension should be licensed...
You can do this for up to three licenses on used different computers...

A few steps to do it properly [once]...

Did so "properly once" and have used it repeatedly in the past. And yet this error message popped up once again when I went to use the tool. Hopefully it remains stable this time and I don't have to waste time messing around with licensing.

What is the problem exactly. And what is the message popping up?

I don't have to waste time messing around with licensing.

What version of SketchUp? What operating system? Please complete your forum profile.

I have used Fredo6 when it was free and it was great. Back to SketchUp again with latest version Pro 2022.
Bought the Fredo6 Bundle to get Toposhaper but I can't get it to load into Sketchup even though it shows in Extension Manager.
Went through the instructions meticulously but the licenses are not activating. Even bought TopoShaper standalone and it isn't loading,
Flawless Purchase process (as usual) but really frustrating activation process.
How can I get the bundle to load?

Did you also install Libfredo ?

If there are error messages please share them.

[RBChimneyRock]

I did attempt to load Fredo6 13.7b both directly in Sketchup installing pointing to the RBZ file and also using the direct installer in Sketchucation Extension store.

I can see the Libfredo6 settings page in Sketchup under the Window menu. There is reference to About LibFredo6 v13.7. It even shows up in the Extenions>Sketucation>Plugin Manager and Extensions Manager submenus.

I have stored the licenses in a folder and when I go to SCF Global Status the page it is blank and no way to point it to the license folder. I have confirmed Sketchucation shows all of the licenses.

The only thing I can think of is that I finnally got the standalone TopoShaper plugin to load and it works great. Since TopoShaper is part of the LibFredo6 Bundle could that be preventing it from loading the whole toolset?

Sorry for the newbie question but this is the first plugin I have had trouble with. Have at least 6 or 7 that loaded fine through SketchUp Extension Manager. Love Fredos tools but the activation process is a bit confusing.

Please, how can I fix this problem?
I have SCF License RoundCorner and connect the internet and all plug-in update but the windows show "Sorry - An error occured in the communication with Sketchucation"
many thanks.

First you need to install the 8 individual plugins.

Then you need to activate the license for each of them, using the purchased license files you received by email after you bought the Bundle license.
The best is to have a look at the PDF instructions in the first post of this thread.

I think this is simply a problem of Interent communication to the Sektchucation server. It might come from your configuration (proxy, ...). In any case, try to whitelist the Sketchucation domain Sketchucation.com.

OK, I will try to do that. Thanks

You must have changed something in your computer.
Just follow the instruction, clicking on OK and erase the Signature file.

I payed for the 8 plugin bundle, but I received an email from PayPal telling me that the order couldn't be completed and that I will receive a refund. I'd like to continue using the plugins! What could have gone wrong?

[janosik1]

2 matsuo : you can pay via debet card directly if pay pal method failed , i did it this way but my bank support unique card number for one internet purchase so my real card number was never used directly .

I used the iDeal method, when the money is refunded I'll try directly with PayPal.

edit: also, who can I message to find out what went wrong in the first place?

[Rich O Brien]

The transaction failed between PayPal and your bank. So I would start with your bank.

An easier option would be to create a PayPal account and lodge some funds into it so you can purchase online without the extra hurdle of your bank.

Went the PayPal way, everything worked out. Got all the files within a few minutes.

Baixei o RoundCorner Plugin e comprei a licença, porém não estou conseguindo ativar!!!!!

[Dave R]

I downloaded the RoundCorner Plugin and bought the license, but I can't activate it!!

Translated by Google.

Did you also install the current version of LibFredo6 and the Sketchucation Tool? Are you sure the license is for RoundCorner and not FredoCorner?

[TIG]

I downloaded the RoundCorner Plugin and bought the license, but I can't activate it!!!!!

Check that you have the license for the correct extension - there's RoundCorner and FredoCorner - similar, but needing separate licenses.
What error messages do you get ?
You should have a license file saved somewhere on your computer.
After you install the extension - and in the case of Fredo's extensions you also need the helper LibFredo6 installing.
You also need the latest SketchUcation toolset installing, which sets up licnesing...
When all are installed restart SketchUp to sync everything.
Now you need to activate the license...
Tools menu > Fredo-Collection > EXTENSION-NAME > License submenu...
In the dialog choose Activate and then find the license file...

Verifique se você tem a licença para a extensão correta - há RoundCorner e FredoCorner - semelhantes, mas precisam de licenças separadas.
Que mensagens de erro você recebe?
Você deve ter um arquivo de licença salvo em algum lugar do seu computador.
Depois de instalar a extensão - e no caso das extensões do Fredo, você também precisa do ajudante LibFredo6 instalando.
Você também precisa instalar as ferramentas SketchUcation mais recentes, que configuram o licenciamento...
Quando todos estiverem instalados, reinicie o SketchUp para sincronizar tudo.
Agora você precisa ativar a licença...
Menu Ferramentas > Fredo-Collection > EXTENSION-NAME > Submenu License...
Na caixa de diálogo, escolha Ativar e localize o arquivo de licença...

[maraluke]

Anyway we can release license from old machines we don't have access to anymore?
Support told me to install the latest pluginstore which I did but on the web I still can't release the old machines.
Ever since our office start using virtual cloud computers everytime I open sketchup it's as if I'm opening from a new machine...
Thank you!

can you help me release the license below:
