fredo6 licences

[filoufil]

Hi, I'd like to reset my plugin licences because I'm having problems using them on 2 different computers.
I think there are some old installations on an old PC... and this is blocking the number of licences. ?

What should I do?

Hi,

I am on a win 10 workstation with 2 Monitors.
Hope I use the right place to ask for help:

Every time I start Sketchup there is trouble with Fredos plugins:
It starts with showing this message:

Script Animator is loaded but menus will show up only at next startup of
Sketchup

SU continues showing the same message for :

Curviloft, Curvizard, FredoGuides, FredoPortrait, FredoScale,
FredoSketch, Fredo Spline, FredoTools, HoverSelect,
JointPushPull, Layport, MatSim, MoveAlignMe, Mr.Hide,
RoundCorner, ThruPaint, ToolsOnSurface, TopoShaper, VisuHole,
Axyz (21 klicks).

then, in the lower right corner it shows:

Lord Of The Toolbars
Some extensions are referenced in palettes but not loaded
C:/Users/fjSchüssler/AppData/Roaming/Sketchllp/Sketchll
p 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6

Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.

@fjsgruppe said in fredo6 licences:

As well as doing what Rich asks, please confirm you have the latest versions of LibFredo6 [for vital helper files and our SketchUcation toolset installed [for the licensing].
And your Windows user-name doesn't follow Windows guidance as it contains an umlaut...
C:/Users/fjSchüssler
If all else fails try changing your user-name to fjSchussler or fjSchuessler ?

Hi,
I hope I could solve the biggest Problem.
The mind.sight.studios plugin DoubleCut had some problems validating my license. I wrote Dale, and we solved the problem.
Since then - i wonder why - there ist just one problem left with fredo6 left: LordOfTheToolbars.
The rest is OK I tested it 3 times!
This is the requested information:

Try the user-name solution I mentioned...
PS: does the computer's name contain any non ASCII characters ?

[Rich O Brien]

@fjsgruppe said in fredo6 licences:

c:/users/fjschüssler/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup

Can you rename your device to not use special characters?

[fjsgruppe]

Hi TIG,
Hi Rich,
my computer is on the company network and I'm afraid of doing something wrong - I have no idea about networks and I'll better ask our network specialist.
I will probably be able to change the name of the local PC.

Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland

@fjsgruppe
There are two possible places that might be tripping things up.

One is user Windows user-name - as I explained:
It doesn't follow Windows guidance as it contains an umlaut...
C:/Users/fjSchüssler
Try changing your user-name to fjSchussler or fjSchuessler ?
It needs just ASCII characters and some limited punctuation are required

Two is your computer-name [IT might need to address that].
Again, the name's characters requirement is much as stated above...

[fjsgruppe]

I see!
Thanks, I do that as soon as possible and will you the results!
re
fjs

[fjsgruppe]

Unfortunately ‘fjSchüssler’ is the name of the initial registration.
So it’s a risk and a lot of work to change that.
And windows seems to tolerate the ‘ü’.

What I found out:
There may be some problems with the ‘plugin manager’ and ‘Lord Of the Toolbars’[LOT].
Plugins activated or not activated, even deleted plugins or plugins I am sure of never integrated in LOT show up in the error message.
Thanks for your advise.
I managed to come around by storing/using some new templates.

[fjsgruppe]

Strange:
As a test I deleted an extension (medeek…), ended he program, started it again and SU showed an error belonging to the deleted extension!?

Hi,
I changed the user-name but Sketchup wont let me change the path to the templates

[fjsgruppe]

Because the path is no longer correct, Ican no longer save templates.

[TIG]

Try repairing, or reinstalling SketchUp whilst in the other named user-account, that should use the correct path without the umlaut.
How did you change the user-name ?
What does Windows think your username is ?

[fjsgruppe]

Hi TiG,
reinstalling/repairing gives an error and installation has to be stoped.
See picture.
Program is looking for the 'Schüssler'-path.

re

[fjsgruppe]

And I can't store templates anymore, because SU is trying to store them under the 'Schüssler'-path too.

[fjsgruppe]

And this is shown by windows- User:

[TIG]

How did you rename the user-account ?
Can you revert it back and make a new account 'FJS' and transfer all of your settings over to the new account ?
There's lots on line about that...
