[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.9a - 06 Dec 24

Dave R

Hi! Something's not fine after upgrading to latest version of LibFredo6 14.1a with SketchUp 2021.

Did you install SketchUp 2021 correctly? On Windows that requires right clicking on the installer file and selecting Run as administrator. If you didn't or don't remember doing so, get the installer from sketchup.com/download/all and do it. Choose the Repair option when it is presented.

Did you update the Sketchucation Extension Store when you updated LibFredo6? Did you quit and restart SketchUp after updating?

On the topic of updating, please update your forum profile. It's extremely out of date.

I've had v2021 installed since it came out. No problems until this time.

I repaired installation, uninstalled and reinstalled all Fredo6 plugins, SketchUcation Extension Store is v4.3.0. I restarted after repairing. It keeps failing. Thinking about uninstalling SU at all and reinstalling.

*I've checked I can't see the license windows either for any of these plugins

TIG

The current version of the SketchUcation toolset [and therefore the licensing system] is 4.3.1
Update to that using the ExtensionStore³ and restart SketchUp...

Well, I've done this:

Uninstalled SketchUp and all plugins
Cleaned registry and checked no left folders were forgotten
Restarted
Installed SU 2022
Installed SketchUcation Extension Store 4.3.1
Installed LibFredo6 and JointPushPull

...and the same issues: got to double click in Fredo6 plugin buttons to work and when I press on License... button, nothing happens. I'm really lost

I get this in "View Trace log files":

Does it seem SCFLicense problem?

Can you download the sketchup installer, right click it and Run as Administrator, Then choose Repair.

Download All | SketchUp | SketchUp

Download All | SketchUp

(www.sketchup.com)

Then reinstall Sketchucation Tools and rrestart SketchUp.

On restart run Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support and see if the error is gone.

It looks like there's an OS issue creating the SCF License folder which is usually your OS protecting you from yourself.

Do you have C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses folder?

Thanks a lot Rich. I'll do that. I have SCF Licenses folder right where it must be. There're some SCFLicense_XXXXX_this_computer.txt files inside and one SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt.

Now I have to add another issue: I installed Clothworks. After this, if a draw anything, select it and right click... SU freezes at all. Same effect when try to expand Edition menu instead right click.

If you have a SCF Licenses folder and content like SCFLicense_XXXXX_this_computer.txt then that says at some point you activated a license.

Close SketchUp

Delete to contents of C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses folder including the SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt file

In your plugins folder delete Fredo6_!LibFredo6 folder and Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb file

Start Sketchup and install Libfredo 14.1a

Restart SketchUp

Run Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support

Then try activating a license per the guide...

Somehow it seems an SCFLicense problem. I followed all that steps and got the same result.

Then I went to Extension Manager, uninstalled SCFLicense (keeping Sketchucation), and now JointPushPull works perfectly. When SCFLicense is installed, I need to double click to make it work

I don't know what kind of dependencies needs SCFLicense to work, but somehow SCFL is the problem.

It is certainly an issue on that device.

Your original post was for SketchUp 2021, your Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support output is for SketchUp 2022 and your work laptop is SketchUp 2023.

Your work laptop is behaving correctly.

If we look at your activation we see everything activated last year on 3 separate devices.

Have you issue on these devices?

What's different on this device that led to this instability? How did you migrate extensions?

You don't have a license for Clothworks associated to your account.

Hi Rich. My original post certainly was for SketchUp 2021. As I couldn't solve this problem, I uninstalled SketchUp 2021 and installed SketchUp 2022, but the problem persisted from the first start.

I checked my work laptop (SketchUp 2023) and it works perfectly.

I use three devices:

This home PC, where i'm getting this issue (it was the first device for plugins activation)
Work laptop (SU 2023 - no problem)
Work PC (SU 2022 - no problem)

I don't know what caused this problem. It started suddenly one day to another. Even uninstalling everything, deleting all involved folders and registry references and then installing a clean new version, the problem keeps going.

I tried to release all license seats, but some keep unreleasable, don't know why...

Rich O Brien

Which device is unreleasable?

I'll point Fredo towards this thread to see if he has ideas. Everything points towards a funky/corrupt license environment.

You didn't copy your plugins and scf licenses for other to this one? Or something in line with that?

With Sketchucation Tools 4.3.1 and Libfredo 14.1 installed you should just get the licenses folder setup ready for accepting licenses and activation.

If you want to go to extreme lengths you could rename your plugins folder to !!!plugins to prevent it loading. SketchUp will create a new plugins folder when you start it.

Then install a fresh Sketchucation Tools and Libfredo and a single bundle extension. If that is still the same then delete this new plugins folder and rename !!!plugins back to plugins to restore it.

I don't expect it to work as the issue is around scf license.

I've pinged Fredo to see if he can help better than me

I really don't know which device is unreleaseable, because i don't know where to find HW ID to compare.

I first activated plugins in home PC, then at work PC and laptop. Everything went ok until now.

I tried something in my home PC and work laptop, as I know in my laptop works ok:

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

Then restarted SU at both:

my work laptop creates again SCF folder, home PC doesn't.
None of them creates again SCF Licenses folder.
I noticed work laptop has LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir, home PC doesn't.

Could it be about this folders? Let's see.

Thanks for your help Rich.

Last try this morning:

Repaired SU 2022, deleted Plugins folder, installed just SketchUcation Tools and LibFredo6:

If the SCFLicense folder is missing something is stopping it being created, or found.

Is this folder there ?
C:\Users\javi\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses
Check the permissions to your Local folder allow folders to be added and files made/read...

Also look in your Roaming folder and ensure that its contents are writable etc...
Perhaps SketchUp is having an issue with the contents of subfolders in Plugins etc...

The folder named exactly " SCFLicense" is part of the installation of the SketchUcation extension installation... It contains many vital files and subfolders used in the licensing system.
Is it there ?
C:\Users\javi\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2022\SketchUp\Plugins\SketchUcation\SCFLicense
If it's not there please try reinstalling the latest toolset from the SCF Plugin|ExtensionStore [v4.3.1].
That folder is most definitely included in the RBZ installer...

The folders are there, permissions are ok, Roaming folder and its contents are writable.

The folder named exactly " SCFLicense" is where it should be:
C:\Users\javi\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2022\SketchUp\Plugins\SketchUcation\SCFLicense

I've reinstalled SU 2022, started and just installed SketchUcation Tools. Extensions > SketchUcation > SCFLicense: Global Status... does nothing.

This is gonna be next "X Files" movie...

Rich O Brien

C:\Users\javi\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2022\SketchUp\Plugins\SketchUcation\SCFLicense

The above path doesn't contain your licenses. It is extension related.

The path below is where you are experiencing issues...

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

This folder should have the .txt files and the signature file.

Well, first problem solved: SU now reads my licenses at C:\Users\Javi\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses.

Second part is still unreachable: if I install a Fredo6 plugin, I get the same error. This is what I get after installing Curviloft:

I'm thinking it's because I have customized Windows paths at Advanced System Setup (even though I haven't had this problem in years):

C:\Windows\Temp --> D:-WinCache\Windows\Temp
C:\Users\javi\AppData\Local\Temp --> D:-WinCache\Temp

I think this because in my work laptop, SCF and SCF Licenses are subfolders at C:\Users\Javi\AppData\Local, but in my home PC is SCF is at D:\-WinCache\SCF and SCF Licences keeps as a C:\Users\Javi\AppData\Local subfolder.
