@Rich-O-Brien I have just found out none of my Fredo Extensions are working anymore, Curvy Loft and Round Corner are Extensions which I was already working with as I bought the license but now none of them are working, they are all telling me that I need to get a license and when trying to activate I get the same message for all three extensions.

[Rich O Brien]

@brittico Please follow the steps in my previous reply.

Please share the error messages. If it’s network related as it has been previously please change networks or whitelist

The more concise information you share in terms of error messages the sooner we can paint a picture of what is going on.

Also make sure you are using the latest versions of all extensions. This can be checked in SketchUcation Tools

I have a activate problem with purchased license. anyone help me? ㅠ

[TIG]

@parkjh1477

The error message means the signature file can't be read.
You can follow the instructions and delete the file [folder opens on button click], then re-validate the licenses and see if that helps...
This can happen if you change the name of your computer, it can also be affected if you have computer name that doesn't follow the Windows rules - e.g. the computer's name contains special characters causing issues with the licensing system saved data...
Let us know how you get on...

[parkjh1477]

@TIG
I tried changing the computer name, but it didn't solve the problem. However, the license for SketchUp 2021 version on the same computer works normally. Should I delete SketchUp 2021?

@parkjh1477

Both versions can exists side-by-side, so don't delete v2021 just yet.
Does your computer-name follow the Windows rules - i.e. no special characters...
This is a range of characters that can be considered safe:
Letters (a-z A-Z)
Digits (0-9)
Underscore (_)
Hyphen (-)
Space
Dot (.)
Beyond this, you just have to enforce some additional rules regarding spaces and dots. This is usually sufficient:
Name must contain at least one letter or number (to avoid only dots/spaces)
Name must start with a letter or number (to avoid leading dots/spaces)
Name may not end with a dot or space

Do you have any special characters in the computer-name OR your user-name ? - I guess you are Korean ?

[parkjh1477]

@TIG Yes, I am korean. I fixed my problem following your advise. Really thank you for your kindness reply. Thanks!

Please tell me how to solve the problem？？

Follow the message's instructions on opening the folder and deleting the file.
You might need to rename your computer...

Try fixing that and restart to see if that helps...

I have purchased an license last year. And when I try to use the Freddy Roundcorner Plugin. The system says, "free trail expired"?

[Rich O Brien]

@SergioAlbelli Please check if your extensions are updated to latest releases.

https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Roundcorner

You can do this directly in SketchUp using Extensions > Sketchucation > ExtensionStore

Restart SketchUp after updating and then follow the licensing guide to activate: https://downloads.sketchucation.com/licensing/SCFLicense-Instructions_to_Users.pdf

[TIG]

@SergioAlbelli
In addition to Rich's useful info...
We are assuming you have bought a license for Fredo's RoundCorner extension and not his other FredoCorner extension, whatever, then you need to save its file onto your computer and then validate it in the appropriate dialog opened from that extension's submenu in the Tools menu...
There are pages to help you mange your licenses as listed in this thread...
We need more info if you still can't resolve it...

Licenses need an internet connection to activate. After that there is only periodic checks.

In most cases the ruby console will output errors which would be useful to share to help us help you.
