[Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24

kakashi66

I went to use Fredo Corner today and it said my license was invalid. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it after checking that I purchased it March 05 2021.

It shows as installed in SUC extensions manager 4.2.2 and the trimble manager.

If I try to load the toolbar for it, it's not there and under tools/fredo tools it doesn't show up either.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day

I did find the license on the date and it is strange that you get it invalid.

However, it is unclear why you do not see the toolbar, which is unrelated to license.

For the license, could you re-download your license file and reactivate it, by going to this link (you may need to sign in)

I downloaded my license again and then installed fredo corner again. I restarted sketchup and it said it couldn't load FC because it needed the library. I downloaded and installed the library and restarted.

When sketchup starts, it says it cant load FC and when I click the details button, I get a bugsplat. I reinstalled it and no longer get the message but FC doesn't appear in the drop down menu.

This is in SketchUp 2015 as indicated in your profile?

fredo6

Could you reinstall Sketchucation ExtensionStore, which is the one including the license framework (which is not specific to FredoCorner).

kakashi66

Update.

Uninstalled it and reinstalled and the tool bar popped up and it's working again. It doesn't show up under tools/fredo6 collection though.

What is working again?

Hi !

All 3 seats of my license are in use. But I can't release the license because I've formatted my computer before. I tried it with that computer, but it failed because the system information was different. The license recognizes it as another computer.

Can you initialize the license seats?

I cannot get the FredoCorner extension v2.5a to display its License... UI. Here is what is displayed in the Ruby Console window when I select the License... item from the Tools>Fredo6 Collection>FredoCorner menu:

SketchUp Pro 2018 on a Mac running 10.14.6. I installed FredoCorner v2.5a by downloading the RBZ from SketchuCation, and then I used the SKetchUp Extension Manager to install it. Then I restarted SketchUp. (The SketchUcation Extension Store extension doesn't work for me, it fails to unzip anything I try.)

By the way, I have used RoundCorner For a number of years and love it. Today I tried to use it and nothing happens, no UI. The Ruby Console window shows license-type errors. Fredo posted a topic on the SketchUp forum recently saying that a number of his formerly-free extensions would soon become paid extensions, today being the cut-over day as I recall. So seeing the RoundCorner license error today was not a total surprise, and I'm willing to switch to FredoCorner. But sadly FredoCorner doesn't seem to allow me to enter a license.

Make sure you have the latest version of the Sketchucation extension installed as well as the latest version of LibFredo6.

Round Corner is working for me today and I haven't purchased the licenses for it yet. Again, make sure you have the latest LibFredo6 installed.

I have noticed that to activate those extensions like Round Corner, I have to click on the toolbar button twice the first time I want to use it. After that they work fine. Maybe the first click starts the 30-day trial period.

Did you upgrade to the latest version of Sketchucation Extension Store?

TDahl

The Extension Store plugin doesn't work for me (I only tried it for the very first time a week or so ago). I have SketchuCation Extension Store v4.2.3 which is apparently the latest. I have been in contact with TIG about the unzip errors that I'm experiencing, so far unresolved. Therefore, I'm downloading the SketchuCation-hosted plugin RBZ files and then using the native SKetchUp Extension Manager window to install SketchuCation-hosted extensions.

Just now I updated LibFredo6 from 12.4a to 12.5a, but the didn't help to make RoundCorner work (see traceback below).

I tried bringing up the FredoCorner UI (even though the license dialog can't be displayed due to the error listed earlier), and the UI does appear. Yay. Maybe in 30 days the FredoCorner UI will shut itself off and then the inability to enter a license would be a killer, but for the next month I suppose I'm in business with FredoCorner instead of RoundCorner.

Here is the traceback when trying to do much of anything with RoundCorner (with SKetchUp 2018, macOS 12.4.6):

Unfortunately, you need the ExtensionStore working to validate licenses. You can still install the RBZ by manual copy / unzip or via the Extension Manager, but the installation of Sketchucation ExtensionStore must be OK.

Hello Fredo,

since longer I use some of your plugins, "Fredo Corner" with a pruchased licence.
Now, yesterday all the others required a licence. Well, no problem I thought and purchased the 8 Licence bundle and tried to install them. Failed due to old version of sketchup tools, so I installed the recent one and all worked fine.

This morning I tried to use the software, but each of the plugins only worked for one time, from the second on I was asked to validate the licences

I think it is because I do not have internet access all the time. I just connected the computer to validate the licence. That always worked with my old licence from Fredo Corner since long, without Internet access.
What shall I do now? I can't have internet all the time, so I need the licence once validated to work without Internet.
The way it is now the 40$ where not only wasted, even Fredo Corner does not work anymore.

Regards
Stefan

Well, it seems I found a solution.

It looks that the Sketchup Tool Plugin in the old version only checked while validating if the licence is correct. The new version seems to want to check this every single time a plugin is used.

I just tried to delete the new Sketchup Tools and reinstalled the old version (4.0.0).
The plugins are still validated and I get no further questions to validate again, all works for the moment. So if this also remains in 30 days I quess that was the solution.
Fortunately the old Sketchup Tools does its work without complaining any incompatibility.

Best regards
Stefan

It's not good practice to run older releases of Sketchucation Tools. You may encounter many issues/errors going forward on older builds of Sketchucation Tools.

Well, you surely are right, but what else can I do?
Staying online all time unfortunately is no option, although that of course would be THE right way.

Best regards

Can you initialize the license seats?

I'm having a similar issue. Did you find a way to release the license? I have it activated on 2 pc but the license info says that i have all 3 seats active, is there a way to release one seat if you have not access to that pc anymore?

Nattias

Hi,
I got all my 3 seat of Fredo Corner looked and have tried everything to release them
My problem is that I get the same info on all my computers witch don't give me any opportunity to release any licens.
Sketchucation tool are updated on all computers

The computers I use are:
1, Imac for Cad and Sketches
2, MacBook Pro when traveling
3, PC for renderings

Any possibility to realize all of them from your side so I can install again on my Imac?
Can't work without Fredo Corner:)

Rich O Brien

Make sure you have the latest release of Sketchucation Tools v4.2.5 installed.

Restart SketchUp and use the SCF Global Status dialog to choose and release...
