SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

Success!

Hi Rich

That was the trick. Thanks again.

Ok. I bought Fredo's bundle, got 8 emails, each with a licensing file in it

So it's 8 individual licenses and not one bundle license? And all licenses need to be checked every few days? (5 days? 7 days?). So there must be a permanent connection to the internet?

Yes

The license does ping occasionally. Unsure of the time frame though. Fredo would know more.

Not really. Tools will work offline if you validated while online.

Have you installed the latest version of Lib Fredo and restarted SketchUp ?

fredo6 · 7 Apr 2022, 11:43

Normally, LibFredo6 v12.8a should solve this problem.

ely862me · 7 Apr 2022, 11:47

Yes, latest LibFredo installed trough the Extension Store 4.2.5.
The other license extensions are working fine. Actually I just activated Curvizard and it worked once and then it said the same as the scale. They work only once after startup, then the Trial Period Expired window appear.
So it is something that started today. Both of these licenses I inserted today!

I have the same problem like ely862me

ely862me · 7 Apr 2022, 12:19

Hi!
First thank you for the Fredo6Bundle! It is great. I only saw their importance when I couldn't use them anymore!
I purchased* the bundle and inserted a couple of licenses but today after FredoScale expired I successfully inserted the license yet when I try to use it is says it expired.

I have reinstalled the plugin and it gives this error. It gets installed and looks alright though.
EDIT:
I have uninstalled the other Sketchup versions and removed the FredoScale plugin from the Plugins Folder. Now there is no error at installation. So that error was meaningless regarding the license problem.

*Rich knows

Same problem here suddenly..Updated everythingbut still can't get it to work...Everything seems to be fine but everytime I want to use the plugin I got the license message.

There was a recent report of similar issues, traced to a server-side issue.
This was fixed and affected licensees were issue new details.
However, these reports suggest that an issue still persists...

I'm sure the IT team are investigating and working on a fix !

ely862me · 7 Apr 2022, 12:47

Nasty stuff when we are depending on servers.
I was working hourly and I had to stop the job because I couldn't use it and finish it.
Hope it gets fixed soon!
Thanks to those working under radar!

When you go to your Extensions / SketchUcation / SCFLicence : Global Status what do you see? Are the plugins licensed?

Rich O Brien · 7 Apr 2022, 14:13

I just validated your license on my system...

...how do you get it to fail? For me it works

Round corner and FredoCorner work!
JPP works
Curviloft works
TOS works.

Curvizard and FredoScale I activated today also VisuHole and TopoShaper, and they are not working.

Ah, I saw two seats there, I thought might be because there is RoundCorner and FredoCorner.

Could you please release the license one of the not working ones and re-activate, restart SketchUp and try again?

Curvizard and FredoScale I activated today. Also VisuHole and TopoShaper, and they are not working.
Something happened from yesterday to today. What I activated today won't work!

I already did that, it didn't work!

Hey! I don't know what you did but now they seem to work! Yay!

Good to hear that it is working now. Could everybody with the same problem retry it now?

Could you please reactivate the not working licenses, restart SketchUp and try to use the affected plugins again?
