SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
-
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.

Hello,
I bought 8 licenses for Fredoscale Pluginns today, installed them via extention store.
Two problems have arisen in the process:
- the dialog box of Global Status of Plugins under SCF License showed me only the plugin Roundcorner, all other 7 are not present, so I can not activate the license either.
- when using the plugins, the tools in which you can select the parameters are completely empty, so that the plugin is unusable.
Attached a few screenshots with the issues raised, the Sketchup license and the plugin licenses I bought today.
Can they help me further, because I need these plugins urgently.
Thanks a lot! [/size]

You should first upgrade to LibFredo6 13.6a. This should solve the problem of empty palettes.
-
You need to license each extensions via IT'S license dialog.
For Round Corner its Tools > Fredo Collection > Round Corner > License
For FredoScale its Tools > Fredo Collection > FredoScale > License
etc...
Also make sure bot Sketchucation Tools and LibFredo are up to date

You don't have Fredo Corner at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php
You have Round Corner which is a different extension.

You titled the image as "Round corner license." Which extension do you have a license for? FredoCorner or Round Corner? They are different and require different licenses. The license for Round Corner is included with Fredo6's bundle. FredoCorner is available separately.

Why isn't SketchUp paying you guy's to make these scripts to run their software which is virtually worthless in a business environment with out them. Buying these scripts on top of the basic program cost is starting to reach an inflection point for a lot of users of being too costly. Wow! at his rate we won't own anything. My generation was use to getting a program that it worked for years and you owned it.

I installed a few plugins today, our office purchased licenses last year for a handful of the Fredo6 plugins. Some of the plugins automatically prompted me to validate the license because the trial period was already expired.
Some of the other plugins (toposhaper, fredoscale, curvizard) are working but I was not prompted to validate the licenses, is this because I am in the free trial period? How do I get to the pop-up window to validate the license for these plugins now without waiting for the trial period to expire?
-
Under each of the Fredo-extension's listings in the Tools menu there's a License... item...
Choose that and a dialog appears allowing you to manage that extension's license etc.
To buy one you choose Obtain, but to Validate an already purchased license choose that option - you need to know the location of that license file on your system to activate it on your computer - perhaps your IT guy can help there... -
Unable to verify license for toposhaper in sketchup. Please help
-
Please explain the steps you have taken thus far, and where/how it fails...
