As Rich says ensure that you have the newest version of the SketchUcation toolset installed [it has the latest SCF license code etc]
The error message you show suggests that the license file you are trying to validate mismatches with the extension itself...
A common mistake is to confuse Fredo's RoundCorner and FredoCorner extensions, which are different things and need two separate licenses...
The FredoCorner one has its own license and it is not included in any 'bundle' deals...
If it's a Fredo extension issue also ensure you have the latest LibFredo installed.
Also remember that on a MAC you must restart SketchUp to ensure everything is properly synced after the extensions and Lib are installed...
As the error message says you can also check your licenses on our MyLicenses page...

Hello there, this is George from Beirut-Lebanon. I am trying to purchase the Fredo tools bundle (40usd) using my debit card, but the problem is that paypal doesn't exist in my country unfortunately so even the debit/credit card option (operated by paypal) won't work....is there a western union wire transfer option...because i really need the extensions for my workflow

Thanks

Hi! I bought a Fredo RoundCorner perpetual plugin, but I have a message saying my trial is expired...can you help me with this please?

Thank you

TIG

Have you received the license file ?
Have you validated it in the extension's menu ?
Do you have the latest versions of the extension, LibFredo and the SketchUcation toolset installed ?
Restart SketchUp after installing all of them to ensure everything syncs...
If you look in MyLicenses on this site what does it say ?

This post explains how to license some extensions published on Sketchucation.

Hello, Fredo6

As you can understand from the posts under the topic; PAYPAL is not available in some countries. In this case, we cannot benefit from many plugins even though we are willing to pay for them.
I request you to find a permanent solution to this situation. We request you and sketchucation.com admins and moderators to use another payment tool to help us reach and use Fredo6Bundle2022 - A bundle of 8 plugins.
We have been waiting for four or five months with the hope of a solution. Except for PAYPAL, if necessary, give me an IBAN number and we can transfer the plugins to it. See; We can easily get SUbD and Vertex Tools from https://evilsoftwareempire.com/. I'm looking forward to a solution similar to this and at least a promising response to this post. We hope to get back to these plugins that we have been using for years. Take care of yourselves.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this post, so apologies in advance if this needs moving.

Despite having been able to use various of Fredo6's superb tools in the past, including after having bought a licence on both SU2021 & 22, I am currently experiencing problems...

I check my licence status, let's say for Joint push pull, & it says i'm ok, but wen I try to use the tool, nothing works.
& Yes, I've updated to the latest versions of both plugin & LibFredo, plus my SketchUcation plugin is also the latest version. I've tried on both 21 & 22, to no avail.
This is also true for Curviloft and Tools on surface etc...

Anyone have any ideas (BTW, the old free version of Joint PP works for some reason)

Thanks in advance.

Open the ruby console and see if there's any messages when you try JPP.

If JPP, LibFredo and Sketchucation Tools are all up to date you should have no issues.

Hi, thanks for the tip:

here is what appears in the Ruby Console:

I hope somebody understands what that error #<NameError: ... is all about

...and when I try one of the curviloft tools, I get this error:

It's a bit frustrating as these tools have worked well in the past and are such help, hence I had no issues about buying a licence when that became necessary...

paddyclown

oh, & just now on launch of SU 2021 I got this bizarre message popped up in a window:

"Incorrect installation of LibFredo6 - Remove rb files" with an "ok" button that i did not press !

This is bizarre as I had correctly installed the rbz...

Luckily on the SU2022 launch I have not had this window

curiouser und curiouser

TIG

Please ensure that you have installed the newest versions of these extensions, LibFredo [helper] and the SketchUcation toolset [for licensing set up] - v4.2.9
After the installation restart SketchUp to sync everything...
Retry the tools...

If this fails to improve things...
Note that if SketchUp is not installed by using 'Run as administrator' from the right-click context-menu on the installer's exe file [in Downloads] you can get unpredictable and often weird permission issues - running the installer properly usually fixes these issue with a 'Repair' - there is no need to uninstall and any already installed extensions etc are left unaffected...
Some of Fredo's support files stored away from the main Plugins folder can become inaccessible with very messed up permissions... these can be deleted and when SketchUp restarts they get remade - this time properly... We have already posted details of this previously...

paddyclown

TIG thank you for your reply.

I did all of that on my SU2022 install and now have the same awful popup window as I mentioned before.

I again tried to reinstall the LibFredo package using both approved methods, and, in desperation, by copying the files from the .rbz to the plugin folder, but on all three attempts, on restarting SU, this damn window pops up saying that "LibFredo is incorrectly installed, remove, <OK>"

I can't think what has recently changed in order for the whole thing to act this way...

Maybe it's the version of windows ? it's Win11 Pro 22H2, build 22621.819

paddyclown

Oh, & for good mesure, I tried what you suggested on another thread...
"If the error persists, then try [re]deleting the C:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/AppData/Local/LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir directory - because it might have incorrect permissions from any earlier incorrect installation of SketchUp..."

& sadly that did not fix the issue.

Rich O Brien

I'm on the same Windows build as you and no issues.

@unknownuser said:

by copying the files from the .rbz to the plugin folder

You're renaming the pluginName.rbz to pluginName.zip and unzipping it and placing the contents into the plugins folder at C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2022\SketchUp\Plugins ???

Something is not right with install structure for LibFredo to spit out its dummy.

As a last resort you could rename your Plugins folder to #plugins to prevent it loading. Then fresh install Sketchucation Tools. Use that to install LibFredo and JPP and validate your license.

Then see if it works. If it does then you know there's something else at play...

paddyclown

OK, good news folks I fixed the problem:

I got radical and deleted ALL Fredo6 related folders and files from everywhere, then reinstalled all, starting by LibFredo via the SketchUcation toolbar... despite verious error messages, once I restarted SU22 they reworked.
Fingers crossed that it holds.
Anyway, thanks all & hope this helps someone sometime.
