SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

TIG · 1 Dec 2022, 22:25

I'm sure Fredo will reply more authoritatively, but meanwhile...

The problem with the LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir folder error, suggests that it [and its enclosed files] do not have proper permissions to read/write.
This usually results from you not having previously installed SketchUp properly...

To try and reverse this do the following...

Close SketchUp.
Find its installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder.
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > 'Run as administrator'...
In the resultant dialog choose 'Repair'...
This should fix most of the permission issues with the installation, whilst leaving your Plugins folder unaffected.

Unfortunately some folders/files saved outside of the main SketchUp paths might not get fixed when you do this.
So to resolve the issue with C:\Users\levas\AppData\Local\LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir, find that folder and delete it.
It is hidden by default so you might need to reset some preferences to see it...
When SketchUp restarts the problem folder and files should now be recreated with good permissions...

*Je suis sûr que Fredo répondra avec plus d'autorité, mais en attendant...

Le problème avec l'erreur de dossier LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir, suggère qu'il [et ses fichiers joints] n'ont pas les autorisations appropriées pour lire/écrire.
Cela résulte généralement du fait que vous n'avez pas installé correctement SketchUp auparavant...

Pour essayer d'inverser cela, procédez comme suit...

Fermez SketchUp.
Trouvez son fichier exe d'installation - généralement dans votre dossier Téléchargements.
Sélectionnez son icône, clic droit > menu contextuel > 'Exécuter en tant qu'administrateur'...
Dans la boîte de dialogue résultante, choisissez "Réparer"...
Cela devrait résoudre la plupart des problèmes d'autorisation liés à l'installation, tout en laissant votre dossier Plugins inchangé.

Malheureusement, certains dossiers/fichiers enregistrés en dehors des chemins principaux de SketchUp peuvent ne pas être corrigés lorsque vous procédez ainsi.
Donc, pour résoudre le problème avec C:\Users\levas\AppData\Local\LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir, recherchez ce dossier et supprimez-le.
Il est masqué par défaut, vous devrez donc peut-être réinitialiser certaines préférences pour le voir...
Lorsque SketchUp redémarre, le dossier problématique et les fichiers doivent maintenant être recréés avec de bonnes autorisations...*

Hello,
I made a big mess while upgrading the hardware and reconfiguring the network.
In short: I am asking you to release seats - licenses no.: 34491, 34492, 34493, 34494, 34498 (ie 34491 - 34494 and 34498).
Thank you in advance.

Where can I buy the Sketchuacation License. It's not on this page. Is the Upgrade same as the Extensions License. Can you guy check your page to make this easier.

TIG · 4 Dec 2022, 18:54

Install the latest version of the desired Extension [and any related Lib - e.g. for LibFredo]
You also need to install the newest version of the SketchUcation toolset...
Restart SketchUp.
With Fredo's tools you can then use the Tools > Fredo6 Collection > "ExtensionName" > License... item to check/obtain[aka 'buy']/validate the appropriate SCF-License...

라이센서를 구매했으나, 저장이 되지 앖습니다.

메일을 보내도 응답이 없습니다.

I purchased a license, but it is not saved.

Even if I send an email, there is no response.

cant find where to buy the license nothing on the shop tab or on the round corner page

SketchUcation | List of Plugin Licences

(sketchucation.com)

Or from the License dialog from the particular extension in SketchUp

Extensions > Clothworks > License

Or

Tools > Fredo Collection > RoundCorner > License

In the dialog click Obtain License to go straight to the license purchasing page for that Extension

@niso

Have you downloaded and installed the very latest versions of the following [and restarted SketchUp to sync everything] ?

The Extension itself
LibeFredo [for support]
SketchUcation toolset [for licensing]

lionking_114 · 12 Dec 2022, 16:01

Install the desired extension along with LibFredo6 (assuming you want one of Fredo6's extensions) and SketchUcation toolset. Find the extension in the menu, click on License and then Obtain license.

Which version of SketchUp are you using? There is no SketchUp 202 Free/Make as your profile indicates.

I use version 2021
I see button obtain license but minimum is 3 seats. not option for 1 seat, 3 seats is too much for me.

You are buying one license - this allows you to use the licensed extension on up to three computers.
For example, some users have a desktop PC and a laptop...

You are not being sold three licenses, rather it's one license with ability to use it on one, two or three computers...

I purchased a three-seat license for FredoCorner a while back, and I've migrated over a couple machines since then, from a Legion 15ARH05, to a Surface Pro 7, and now to a Surface Laptop Studio. I (re?)activated the license on my current machine because even though I could have sworn I had used it before on here, it wasn't activated and wouldn't let me do anything. (I actually thought there was something wrong and restarted a couple times because there was no indication it was a licensing issue, it just "didn't work." It could do with a "check your license or buy one" message if you try to use a tool without a license.)

While doing this, I saw that the number of seats taken was 3, leaving 0. It was then that I remembered that I never specifically released the license on my old machines before decommissioning (including formatting the drives and reinstalling Windows) them and moving on. After having some flashbacks of the similarly dreadful iTunes seat limit DRM, I figured there's probably a way to release old machines online. I found the license management page after a lot of hunting around the site, and found the seat release menu, but ironically the only license it will let me release is the one I just activated 10 minutes ago.

Is there some way I can get the old seats released considering those machines are not even under my ownership anymore? I would hope there was a way to release the seats, considering the DRM probably does a phone-home every time you launch it anyways. Even if it were theoretically still activated, it could just invalidate the seat when it next connected.

Maybe it's just me, but unless there's something physical to unplug from the machine like an old-school hardware key, I absolutely never remember I have to go through some process to release the license on an outgoing machine. I just stop using it and license the new machine whenever I start needing to use it on the new machine.
