          Compatible with v2017 and newer [better].
          You can try an older version, but no guarantees...

              I have found that SketchUcation Tools 5.0.2 and now 5.0.3 causes SketchUp to go into a not responding spin on my Mac (2019 MBP Pro running macOS 26.0.1, SketchUp 26.0.428). I have to force quit SketchUp to stop the spin and then manually clean up the "headless" process that is left behind (I reported this zombie on force quit issue separately to the SketchUp team, who have not been able to reproduce it so far.).

              If I move the SketchUcation Tools rb and folder out of Plugins, SketchUp behaves normally except, as expected, SketchUp says all my licensed extensions have expired trial periods, making them unusable! Lack of Fredo6's tools is killing my workflow!

              Usually the spin happens while loading extensions, though it also happened once while I had the Sketchucation Tools window open and once when the Extension Manager window was open to reinstall this extension.

              What can I do to help diagnose the cause?

                Is SketchUcationTools installed into your default plugins folder? If not, please try to install it there. If it is already installed there, you can try the following:

                At your SketchUp default plugins folder, from the SketchUcation folder, copy the SCFLicense folder and SCFLicense.rb file to the root of the plugins folder and erase the SketchUcation folder.and SketchUcation.rb file. Restart SketchUp. Is it starting? Is the licensing working?

                  Yes, I install all extensions in the default folder.

                  I did the copies you suggested, and SketchUp still spins on launch.

                    And if you erease the SCFLicense folder and file as well, then it starts flawless?

                      Yes. I erased those items and now SketchUp starts again.

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

                          So to clarify. Please confirm...
                          You now have no SketchUcation.rb or SketchUcation subfolder in your Plugins folder having temporarily moved them.
                          You have temporarily moved the SCFLicense subfolder and SCFLicense.rb [usually in your SketchUcation folder] back into your Plugins folder.
                          You have restarted SketchUp.
                          Does the licensing set up load ?
                          It seems not !
                          If you add the SketchUcation subfolder and its RB file back into Plugins, AND temporarily remove the SCFLicense.rb and subfolder from the SketchUcation subfolder, AND also remove those you moved into Plugins: after a restart of SketchUp does SketchUcation toolbar/submenu load OK ? If so the issue appears to lie with our licensing set up... [@fredo6 ?]

                                The licensing code hasn't changed in several versions but that seems to now be causing at issue - way back to the lat v4 ?? @fredo6 ??
                                Other MAC users haven't reported anything... Are you still running v2019

                                    Hmm...If I remove all the extensions except SketchUcation Tools, SketchUp will start without spinning. If I then restore all of Fredo6's extensions, it spins on launch again!

                                          And one more test that seems to identify the culprit: If I restore all of Fredo6's stuff except Fredo6_FredoTools, SketchUp launches without spinning.

                                            I meant the SUp version.
                                            I suspect that most users will have newer SUp versions ?
                                            The reason I cited @fredo6 is that he is instrumental in the licensing coding, and I am inviting his input...
