I need The Pluggin

@Fer18
Your posts makes little sense !

If you need LibFredo6 download/install it from the PluginStore.

If you need some other Plugin [aka an Extension] then post in its thread - OR explain yourself better - we are not mind-readers...

[miiraka]

thank you so much

I am using Sketchup 2024 Pro version on a PC computer.
I have downloaded LibFredo6-v14.5f:

• the logo appears in Extension Manager but only as a grey (ghost) logo

• does NOT appear in Extension Warehouse

I have viewed the 15 minute video several times and still cannot figure out how to get access to the App. the video covers so many topics.
Is there a simple set by step guide - text or video that show how to install LibFredo6?

@DESIGN7
As explained in the thread's first post: LibFredo6 is NOT a standalone plugin.
It will appear in the native Extension Manager and should be 'active', but it does little else.
It will have an entry in a Tools submenu if properly installed...
It's used as a Lib[rary] to support most of Fredo's extensions.
You need to install these separately...

Have you restarted SketchUp after this installation so that everything is synced ?

It will not appear in the Extension Warehouse - essentially because that is not the sole repository of good extensions.
Several authors, like Fredo and myself, choose to provide our extensions solely through the SketchUcation PluginStore / ExtensionStore³...
Some other developers publish on both platforms, while some others even use just their own web-sites to offer downloads...

Hi. I've tinkered with my computer profile a bit, and ended up destroying my original profile. I had to use a recover program to repair the profile.
After that, my fredo license wouldn't work with the sketchucation message showing "error A04". I repaired sketchup, but the problem wasn't solved. I even went ahead and bought a second license for the same plug-in, but it still said I had to revalidate. How do I revalidate my license in this situation?

would this help?

[Rich O Brien]

@unit611 The last line shows that there is no signature file.

This may be because your SketchUp install does not have the correct system read/write permissions.

To remedy that you need to repair your SketchUp install. You'll find info on how to do that if you press F1 with SketchUp open.

If you visit this path in your Windows Explorer...

C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses

What do you see?

[unit611]

@Rich-O-Brien
There's two files, SCFLicenseLog and SCFLicenseSignature-DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.

I've already tried repairing sketchup via sketchup unistaller, but it didn't seem to do anything.

Please delete SCFLicenseSignature-DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt file with SketchUp closed

It still says the signature file is absent. Is there something wrong with the folder I saved my licenses?

[TIG]

@unit611
The reason that Rich suggested you closed SketchUp and then did the Repair to your SketchUp installation using 'Run as administrator' context-menu on the installer's exe file, is that an incorrect installation [e.g. if you double-clicked the exe to just 'run' it] can cause weird and unpredictable issues - often revolving around permissions to read and write files etc...

That licenses signature file is made when you license your first extension.
It's added to as you license more extensions.

Have you got a set of license files saved somewhere on your computer ?
You need to validate each of these extensions in turn, extension by extension, using the Tools menu submenu item for each extension.
After you've validated all of them they should all work.
You might need to restart SketchUp to sync everything...

@TIG
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling sketchup, but it seems like I should try again with deleting every sketchup-related files I can get my hands on. Maybe then I should try as you suggested.

On the other hand, is a pop-up window saying "B03" also an error?

@unit611
I did not tell you to uninstall SketchUp - a simple 'Repair' will suffice.
Do not delete files randomly - it'll break something somewhere.

When you install SketchUp are you using 'Run as administrator' ?

The B03 pop up window probably relates to SketchUcation licensing errors.
After a proper installation AND a validation of the various licenses, there should be no more errors.

Do as Rich says about outputting your SCF settings - doing it before AND after the fixes would help...
