    This post explains how to license some extensions published on Sketchucation.

    Requirements

    1. Have a valid registration on Sketchucation (free account is enough - Premium members usually get a significant discount on licenses). See this page for registration.
    2. Install the latest version of Sketchucation Store extension, v4.3.0 or above. It includes the management of licenses and many other features to install other extensions and keep them up to date. For Mac users with old versions of MacOS, ExtensionStore v4.3.0 or above is imperative.

    Licensing Process
    You have 2 steps to license an extension

    1. Purchase the license on Sketchucation. After login and payment, you receive by email a purchased license file, which you should store on your computer in a safe place. This is your proof of paid license. The mail is sent instantly in most cases, but this can take longer, up to 24 hours.
    2. Validation of the license. This is done from within a Sketchup session. Basically, you activate the purchased license to your computer.
      The process and dialog to perform these steps can be accessed from the menu item "License..." in the menu of the extension.

    Important Remarks:

    • Purchasing and Validating licenses requires a connection to Internet. However, once the license is activated, you can use the extension offline. Periodic online checks will however happens.
    • A license is valid for ALL versions of Sketchup, past and future. So the license activation needs to be done once.
    • A purchased license usually provides several license seats (typically 3). So you can license the extension on several computers. If you don't need the extension on a computer anymore, you can Release its license (i.e. deactivate it) and get back a license seat for another computer.

    Consulting your Licenses
    You can access your my-licenses page where all your licenses are displayed, along with the seat information assigned to your computers. Just click on the following link and sign-in if not already done:

      Fredo,

      There's a typo in the link "this page" under "see this page for registration."

                It should be a few seconds after payment.
                Could you send a mail to Clothworks@sketcucation.com. The author (Anton S) will check the status.

                  The instruction PDF is not very clear at the beginning. It says:
                  "Licensed extensions have a License... menu."
                  but it's not explained where the menu is. I finally figured out that I have to go to Tools > Fredo6 Collection > Fredo Corner (or other plugin) > License, but this could be stated in the doc. That's my little suggestion.

                      RoundCorner is free (no license). It is FredoCorner which is licensed.

                            Hi

                            Step 2 of the PDF does not work and I can not purchase a License.

                            By selecting 'License....' from the Fredo Spline Plugin Menu, the attached is shown.

                            Please, how do I purchase a license?

                            Mike

                                RoundCorner is free (no license). It is FredoCorner which is licensed.

                                To use round corner I need to install fredorcorner and buy the lisence, is that it?

                                  No. If you want to use the older Round Corner you need to install Round Corner and LibFred6. If you want to use FredoCorner you need to install FredoCorner and LibFredo6 and buy the license.

                                      Did you click the 'Validate...' button ?
                                      Were you connected to the Internet ?

                                      I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chip in...

                                        Could you upgrade to Sketchucation Extension Store v4.0.0.e and see if it works.

                                        You have an old version of the Extension Store.

                                          Hi Fredo, I upgrade to 4.0.0. The aktiveprocedure was a little different. OK, over again, I bought a full License. I got a new scflicense. But it doesn´t work again. My computer was always connencted to internet and I´m a skechtuo pro.
                                          I pay yesterday 8,61 EUR and today 16,24 EUR without succses. Im a little bit frustrated. Usually i love your extensions 😕
