I encourage all Turkish users to comment there if they have a solution to offer that makes sure you pay the same as rest of world.
In the meantime we continue to try and find solution on our side

Hello,
I purchased the 'Fredo6Bundle2022 Full Unlimited Licenses' back in April of this year.
I have a continuous issue, where sporadically, I need to either validate the licenses.
I'm currently trying to validate the 'Curviloft' plugin, but receive the message "Sorry - An error occurred in the communication with Sketchucation"
Any solutions to this issue?
Thanks in advance. -
Have you installed the newest version of the SketchUcation Toolset [v4.2.9] ?
That has the latest SCFlicensing set up... -
I've updated to 4.2.9 and will report back if the issue persists.
Many thanks.

HmmmTry a different browser. Things like adblock, malware etc can stop PayPal working. Try on a browser without any addons running

Worked with Microsoft Edge. Thanks.

Your question is one only you can answer. You can trial his extensions and decide if you need them or not.
You'll answer your 2nd question as soon as you begin exploring the first.
-
I'm not fully understanding your question.
You have the older archived versions installed and you also have bought the bundle?
You are asking what is the difference between the free archived and the current commercial versions?

This is a LEGACY version of FredoTools for Sketchup versions PRIOR to SU2017 (so up to SU2016). Do NOT install it for Sketchup version >= 2017
If you want to read about the differences you can look at the release notes...

As for downloading, you can use our own Sketchucation Tools...

Is there a reason that RoundCorner is included in the bundle instead of FredoCorner? While RoundCorner still works, it hasn't been updated in 4 years. Is this at risk of becoming "legacy".
Thanks,

RoundCorner is not legacy. Simply, it uses a different algorithm compared with FredoCorner.

If someone provides something for free and then at a later date says to you that you need to pay for what was given for free, I would suspect that person might also assure you it's a one off purchase and then at a later date change their mind again and demand regular subscription payments.

They might do so. The might not. If that's what you expect will happen you could choose not to upgrade to the current version and forego any upgrades, or use alternative extensions, or write your own extensions.
According to your forum profile you are stillusing SketchUp 2016. If that's the case you can use the old legacy versions of Fredo6's extensions. They are still available at no charge.

a: continuing forever : EVERLASTING
b: valid for all timeThat is the term Fredo applies to his licenses. Also the archived versions remain free just not maintained.
Maintaining extensions to work across many versions of SketchUp is time-consuming and in some cases impossible.

Thanks for the suggestion but I am using SketchUp 2017. I looked at the legacy version of Round Corner and it says I should not use it for Sketchup 2017.

The issue is not the maintenance of extensions because I am talking about older extensions.
For example, Round Corner was free in 2017. That same version is now no longer free. And the archived version says it cannot be used on Sketchup 2017. -
Not sure how I can help you if I'm honest. Are you looking for help? Or just venting?

Your profile says you are using SketchUp 2016 Pro. Evidently you need to update your profile.
If you aren't interested in compensating Fredo6 for his hard work at keeping his extensions current, a very small investment, don't update. Keep using the older free version. It's your choice.

Thanks for your suggestion. However, as I said the free version of the plugin is now asking for money. I am not in need of a maintained plugin that works with current versions of Sketchup, I only need the original plugin that was offered for free to keep functioning.
