I have perpetual licence of FreedoScale and while in the midle of important project, it stops working because there is an update. Now I have to look for this update, install it (and figure out how to do it, it's not straight forward), hoping that it will let me finish my project. Really?

If you installed Fredoscale using the sketchucation tool, which you must have if you have a licensed version, then you simply open the Sketchcation tool, it will check for updates and in a few clicks you have installed the update and are back working again.

Thank you. Now it will be easier, however I think plugin should not stop working.

I have never had one of Fredo6's extensions or any other extensions stop working because an update was released.

In this case it said that the previous version expired (in spite of paying for a perpetual license). After updating the toolbar is gone with no option to add it back in? I'll just have to crack the previous version I guess.

What is hard about updating an extension?

You need to upgrade to LibFredo6 v12.9 or above, as indicated in the plugin page and in the notification showed at startup of Sketchup.

The point is that a paid plugin shouldn't stop working just because there is an update available, when said update doesn't even change any core functionality. Which in turn requires a secondary update to get the first update to work. I'm glad it isn't completely broken, but if this is an intended release strategy, then we should be made aware that occasionally tools from the author will stop working arbitrarily, before they are added to workflow.

My Fredo products are not working. I select the object I want to transform, then click on any of the FredoScale buttons and nothing happens. The black and red highlighting box does not appear. Same thing for all of my Fredo plug-ins.

I have a perpetual license for FredoScale and others plus one for SketchUp 2021. I updated all my Fredo products after get the "license expired" error message on 1 Aug. I currently have FredoLib 12.9a and FredoScale 3.5a installed. I have rebooted SketchUp several times and re-installed Fredo several times. Why is this not working?

What version of Sketchucation Tools are you using?

It should be 4.2.9

The whole point of the update was to fix the problem that was causing the plugin to stop working. So it isn't an update it is a bug fix. Why are people getting so 'angry' these days. Sure it's an annoyance, but it takes no time to fix and for most people the sketucation tool updated it for them before they were even aware there was a possible bug in it. And as for making comments about cracking, why would you even say that!

Maybe they want to not adhere to the TOS here...

Good Morning
I have downloaded the Fredo Scale plugin.
I paid for it's license and activated it.
Despite all the above operations, when I run SketchUp, the plug-in appears just in the list of the Extension Manager but not on the screen. I "removed" it and reinstalled it and I still don't see it like the other plug-ins.
What to do ?
with gratitude

Rich O Brien · 4 Aug 2022, 08:17

Have you installed LibFredo too and https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools

Hi Fredo,
thank you for your great work!
I have installed Fredo Scale 3.5a with FredoLib 12.9a.
SketchUp 22.0.353 is running with MacOS 10.15.7.
Unfortunatly at Startup FredeScale shows the Massage:

"To continue using the extension FredoScale, please upgrade to the latest version of Sketchucation ExtensionStore"

I think this is the latest version...
What can i do to?

Thanks a lot,

Gerhard Huber

You don't mention even having the Sketchucation ExtensionStore installed. You can get it at the following link and install it.
