Hi, Fredo. I encountered again an unzip error installing the plugin via scf tools version 4.3.2. I tried to clean, reinstall the scf tools manually. Apparently I also deleted the fredo corner license. After the renewal of the licensing procedure, I noticed that three seats are being used, even though there are only two in use. I still can't use the scf tool, it shows me the need to update the scf tools even though I updated it manually.

I just want to asking this paid extensions like curviloft and joint push pull will be perminent? For example after 1 year I need to pay again? Its yearly paid? or Just one time?

They are perpetual licenses so one off payment

**I downloaded and installed round corner maybe a 2 hours ago, I used it about a dozen times, playing with it, then I get the pop up that the license is expired.

I followed the link, installed sketchucation manager, I clicked on help, was brought to this forum where I read that fredo corner needs a license, but that round corner is supposedly free, yet was brought to a page to purchase a license for round corner....so I'm guessing it's not free anymore?

I also went to the round corner forum, where under the notes, it says it has a 30 day trial period, which obviously I have not exceeded....so I don't get it...what gives?**

Hello,

I just downloaded and installed FrodoScale and after some tests it simply reported that the trial period had expired, but I couldn't find anywhere to buy it, only that it was free.

I've already downloaded and installed Sketchucation SCFLicense, but I can't login inside the open window in Sketchup.

I ask for instructions to be able to use FrodoScale.

Thanking you in advance…

I have the same issue as ktwomble.
Other licenses validate with no problems but FredoCorner gives that same error.

Hello everyone, I have a small problem, a few months ago I've been testing Windows 11, both on my desktop computer and on my college notebook, then with some bugs in the system, I ended up going back to Windows 10, a few days ago I formatted both and installed Windows 11 again.

It turns out that out of ignorance, I ended up not deactivating the licenses (I only understood that it was necessary after reading the .pdf with the doubts), is it possible to remove all computers tied to my licenses? I saw that on the sketchucation website I can't do it manually.

Update: The problem was solved!

I realize why we can’t use FredoScale anymore.

I am trying to license Curviloft since yesterday and I am receiving Error Code ERROR_A04.
The licence file is located to folder SCF (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\SCF)
I've tried deleting (SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE) file as I read in some posts, with no results.
Any advice on that?

Thanks

Make sure you have the most up to date version of the Sketchucation plugin.

I've noticed that the FredoScale plugin became paid.

I already made the purchase but I can't log into the Extention Store within the Sketchup app.

I need assistance to solve this problem.

Thanking you in advance

First let me say Thank you to Fredo6 for the many years of free incredible plugins, support and sheer pleasantness.

Did a purchase for many of the plugins, however am not able to use them. (I'm all updated, internet etc.)

Start the plugin

License pops up

I validate

All good and green

try the plugin

License pops up

I validate

All good and green...

Just cannot get past this loop.

If I restart SU, the first first time I call the plugin it works. After that, the loop resumes.

Hi Max,

What version of Sketchucation Tools are you running?

CadFather · 9 Mar 2022, 17:48

Latest one - got yesterday - i think 4.23

(long time no see hope all is well )

Edit:

going to empty the extensions folder and start from scratch again

if no else has reported this - might be a bug my end, so i'll see if i can find it

Have you installed SketchUp by selecting its installer's exe file [usually in Downloads] and from the right-click context-menu choosing 'Run as administrator', when prompted choose 'Repair'...

Sometimes preferences files etc are created with incorrect permissions if the original installation was not perfect...

So check that C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses Properties > Security has 'Full control' permissions set for everyone listed [Edit]...

Also in the same ...\Local folder do the same for subfolder \LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir folder and its contents...

CadFather · 9 Mar 2022, 18:37

I have ownership of those folders - but will double check all permissions

is there a particular reason why these are not in appdata so we can keep them together with the extensions?

Edit:

forgot, I installed normally, but not specifically as Admin (though i run my pc that way)

TIG · 9 Mar 2022, 19:00

Running the app as admin is not the same as running the installer as admin - even if your user has admin powers...

CadFather · 10 Mar 2022, 00:09

well...re-installed SU with admin, check all permissions to all the LOCAL folders you mentioned (i had all)

no change

then I emptied the whole SCF folder and started all over again - this time it worked!

at least TOS, Spline and Curvizard are good so far - others still to check.

Thanks guys
