SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

@da800429
The trial period has expired.
Have you downloaded the license file, placed it in a safe folder on your computer, then run the submenu item for FredoScale - the dialog appears as you showed.
Follow the instructions that Rich sets out in the first post of this thread {although the latest version of the SketchUcation tools is now 4..4.0 and Fredo has updated his LibFredo and most of his Extensions].

The failure to communicate with SketchUcation.com might be do to your firewall blocking the site - whitelist it.

@da800429 In this post your licensing version is 6.1a - 72

Now its 6.4a -74 so that suggest you've updated Sketchucation Tools to 4.4.0

I've updated to the latest version.
My license is permanent, do I need to purchase it again?

Cant find where to instal the latest version of "Sketchucation Store Extension"
When I click, it takes me nowhere I can find the "download" button.

@Rich-O-Brien
How to send videos to you?
Why does everyone have to have problems after updating?
Makes me feel angry!

@antoniopedromolinari
An extension is an RBZ archive [like a ZIP file], it contains all of the files and subfolders needed for the code to work.
You install an RBZ file using the native Extensions > Extension Manager > dialog > install... button.
Find the RBZ file when prompted and it gets installed.
Restart SketchUp afterwards to sync everything.

Once you have the SketchUcation toolset installed you can manager your plugins/extensions and auto-install any available extensions direct from the ExtensionStore³ dialog, sidestepping the RBZ download etc.
There's also an Archive installer in the SketchUcation submenu items than will install RBZ & ZIP files for you...

@da800429 you can email support@sketchucation.com or you can provide here.

You have yet to provide us info. What happens if you license an extension using your license file/s at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php ?

If you can't get it to work then we can refund but I would like an answer to my query above.

I don't want a refund
I just want to solve the problem with you
I sent the video to support@sketchucation.com

@da800429 I replied via email. But for others I'll post here.

The error was a communication issue with our server. This occurs when either the network environment your device is connected has strict rules or you are running some piece of software that detects something with SketchUp is trying to connect to a server.

The remedy is to whitelist our server by either using the following address

*.sketchucation.com

Or using our IP addresses

178.63.47.155
144.76.69.227

My network uses WIFI. I turned off the firewall and couldn't add the license normally.
I don't know how to join the whitelist, can you teach me?

Rich O Brien

@da800429 It is likely there is hardware or software running protective measures that see the licensing system as a threat.

Your other option is to tether your device to your phone's network and try that.

For whitelisting if you are running Defender you could try adding a custom rule

Have you tried repairing your SketchUp install?

In some instances that may cause the error.

If none of the above fix it then we will refund.

@Rich-O-Brien @da800429 I had this same error, which was quite frustrating for a while. Eventually I closed all the sketchup windows I had open and only opened one model. Then the validation worked. So maybe it's something to do with multiple models being open that gets in the way of validation? Hope this helps
