Animator plugin expired message

Re: [Plugin Beta] Animator - v4.3d - 17 Mar 25
Hello,
I’m currently getting an error message when launching SketchUp that says:
"This version of Animator has expired. Please upgrade to the latest version."
The pop-up links to the Animator page on SketchUcation:
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=AnimatorHowever, I already have the latest version of Animator installed. I downloaded it again just to be sure, and reinstalled it, but the message still appears every time I start SketchUp.
I’ve also deleted the plugin folder and reinstalled it manually, but no luck.
Is this a known bug? Is there a way to reset or bypass this expiration check?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I installed animator again but i cant find the toolbars can you give me any tips i think its something basic
Posting additional info like the version of SketchUp you are using would be helpful.
It is always prudent to restart SketchUp after installing complex extensions like Animator and LibFredo.
You can right click docked toolbars in SketchUp and check if Animator Toolbar is enabled. You can also use Extensions > Extensions Manager to confirm if it is installed and enabled.

I also have the problem of outdated version. I think it is because the version of Animator is only valid until 2025/5/31.
-
Me too. Is there a new version coming?

Please be patient while Fredo addresses any inoperable behaviour with Animator.

Now, Animator plugin icon don't shows after installed. (SU 2024, /w Lastest Fredo Lib). Thanks! @fredo6

@fredo6 hi fredo i can see you have updated the expiry period i have uninstall and reinstalled thinking that was the problem and removed keyframe.
I Then added keyfame yesterday to see if i could use that but if honest i drew a blank
I installed animator again but i cant find the toolbars can you give me any tips i think its something basic -
@Rich-O-Brien Do you have any tips for animator i have managed to lose original positions in model sometimes
i turn video to the start before i exit the ani tool as it think that may be problem
also it thare a way to pint to a different ani fileMy biggest mistake was saving different versions of SketchUp thinking that was saving the animation at that point aswell but i have recently found there is just 1 ani file so if one over verions is corrupt they all are
THanks kev

Hover the element in the timeline to see if you have applied transformations to the incorrect object.
