SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

Gábor · 7 Apr 2022, 14:10

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?

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?

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.

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

I released the seats I had taken on your licenses for Fredoscale and RoundCorner. Cheers for helping us sort this out

My pleasure!
Thank you!

So there must be a permanent connection to the internet?

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

Yes, sure... but with the need to connect every 5-7 days, not knowing when exactly, it's almost permanent... I already experienced a non working FredoCorner for several times. Why such a short timeframe and not at least one month like SU?

That's a query for Fredo. I've zero to do with license check frequency. That's the author's decision.

fredo6 · 8 Apr 2022, 09:29

Check is once a month, that is, once a month, you need to be connected to the Internet when you launch a plugin, in order to check the license. This is by plugin, so if you have many, the occurrences of check are multiple and not necessarily synchronized.

All this is done to let users manage their seat assignment from the Sketchucation 'MyLicenses' page (a functionality that we will open soon).

I only have FredoCorner at the moment and i know that it stops working every few days - not exactly sure about the number of days, but it's definitely not more than a week.

Hi, I purchased the 40 dollar pack and was able to activate all plugins but FredoCorner. When I open the license manager it simply does not show the .scflicense for fredocorner. I even tried deleting the License signature as instructed in one of the replies and that only ended up taking an extra seat of my license that now I cannot release (I was only able to release it the second time I did it, so it is currently taking 2 seats of joint push-pull).
Any ideas of what might be happening with FredoCorner and how can I activate it?

I already checked Sketchucation version and it is up to date. I already uninstalled fredocorner and reinstalled to make sure it wasnt a bug or something but without any success.

This is the log:

Are you referring to RoundCorner or FredoCorner?

FredoCorner and RoundCorner are different plugins, functionally and for licensing:

RoundCorner is part of the bundle pack
FredoCorner is licensed separately (it has been so for more than a year)

I sent you by email the license file for RoundCorner just in case.
