Fredo,

Thank you very much for developing this licencing system! It would be essential for many plugin developers in the future, including me.

Regards,

2017-09-27 12_17_46-Historique des modéles Sketchup.png Bonjour Fredo,
Après avoir installer "LibFredo6v7.7e", j'ai installer "Fredo6_Souvenir" sous SU Make 2017.
J'ai le fichier "SCF_Purchased_Licence_Souvenir_Free" mais ne pas le valider.
Quand je clic le bouton "Licence...", ce n'est pas la boîte de dialogue de la licence qui s'ouvre, mais celle dont je joins une capture d'écran.
Merci pour de l'aide.

You need to install SCFLicense itself, which is part of Sketchucation ExtensionStore v3.1.3.

ExtensionStore provides also a cool way to autoinstall plugins in one click and manage them afterwards.

Merci pour la réponse rapide.
Je n'utilise pas SketchUcation pour l'installation automatique des plugins, préférant le faire manuellement pour conserver le fichier ".rbz" original.
Je viens donc de déroger à "ma règle" et d'utiliser ExtensionStore avec succès, et de constater qu'un fichier est automatiquement crée sur mon disque dur en : C:/User/Name/AppData/Local/SCF Licences.
Donc tout fonctionne.
Il ne me reste plus qu'à découvrir toutes les subtilités de Souvenir.
Encore merci.

I have been waiting for such a licensing system.
Can we have more info ?
Is there a relase date in view ?

mariocha

Any idea what is causing these (false) warnings to appear at every SU launch ?
I also get one for Curvizard, one for FredoTools, etc..
Everything is up to date.

Mariocha,

Do you have a 'slow' machine.

The best would be that you send me the Trace Log txt file (in Window > LibFredo6 Settings... > View Trace Log File. There is an export function.

Mariocha,

Souvenir is released, as part of Sketchucation Extension Store v3.1.

Is it to license your own plugin(s)?

By chance, did you migrate to High Sierra ?

Yes, I did migrate.
That is the cause ?

I meant the licensing scheme.
Yes, for my own plugins. Did not find any info on this licensing.

With slbaumgartner, we found the cause of the problem with High Sierra. As you may know, it comes with a new file system (APFS), which puts some mess in Sketchup, because now plugins are loaded in random order instead of alphabetic order.

I have prepared some fixes which are under tests.

Hello Fredo,

Looking forward to trying this plugin and licensing system out. I do have a question before I try it out though. I use your "Additional Plugin Folders" to manage plugin distribution at my school and ensure all of our computers get updated versions of the plugins on a regular basis. Thus, I have two questions:

The default Souvenir license is for 5 seats. Is it possible to get a higher seat allowance for the plugin, or would one need to obtain multiple licenses, and then how to install/manage those?
Will this upcoming system work in a similar way to the limited seat count, and are there any other considerations to take? I'm like to ensure I can keep up with whatever changes in SCF licensing and still be able to manage plugins across multiple machines.

Thanks,

Matt

Well, good question:

SCFLicense requires installation on each device. Indeed the 'purchased' license file you got from Sketchucation can seat on a shared drive, but you need to create a local license on each PC: this is what is called License Validation.
Souvenir license is FREE, so you can actually download the license several times so that you can have enough seats for your students.
However, for other plugins where there is a commercial licensed distribution (like ClothWorks recently published by Anton_S), the number of seats does matter.
For Schools, the answer could be to have a larger number of seats, as well as possibly free or discounted licenses.

This is more a question that I will address to Sketchucation and which can be solved.

As a final note, SCFLicense requires license installation on each PC only once. When a next version of the plugin or a next version of Sketchup comes, you do not need to revalidate. This, I guess, should ease your maintenance.

Hi , I've been looking for a task management system within Sketchup to use between different computers and team members. Where does Souvenir save the task list, and can I change the location to a shared google drive folder to both team members stay up to date? Thanks

fredo6

Currently, SU Tasks are stored in a file
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir\Souvenir\Souvenir_tasklist_file_SU.txt

But I could offer the option to choose the location of the directory.

Fredo

EDIT: as you are on Mac, the path is different. The best is to open the Ruby console and type
F6_Souvenir.appdata_dir. The file name is Souvenir_tasklist_file_SU.txt.
