      Anton,

      So I'm putzing around with the license this morning and I ended up exceeding my license seats even though there's been only "one seat" on this computer of mine for the past 8 years.

        Do you have multiple versions of SU installed on your machine? If so, on how many of them do you have ClothWorks installed?

        Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

          Just on one version of Sketchup.

            I believe this occurs due to a cleaner tool wiping your temporary folder. SketchUcation will soon make changes to fix the issue. In the meantime, I reset your seat count. Just send me a PM whenever this occurs. Thank you.

              Thanks Anton, the reset worked. I've been setting aside the file in the temp folder before using CC cleaner or manually deleting temp files. Right now it show 2 seats left of 3. This afternoon it showed one left where it was 2 before so I deleted the SCF files and tried to re-validate the license it failed. I'll leave it alone from now on. Shouldn't have looked at this thread this afternoon.

                Hi,

                Probably the fastest solution for the problem is the same: Find on your computer the SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt file and erase it. It should help to solve the problem.

                Thank you. It actually worked for me as well.

                My only concern now is that, according to Clothworks licence validation system, I have reached 3 installations. It is not true. I have 2 active installations (2 different computers). This is not an issue right now, but I'm afraid having the same licencing trouble in the future may prevent me to validate the plugin (once again).

                Thank you anyways.

                hello
                I had the same trouble with my licence. I fixed it when i erase the file SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt but now the number of seats is wrong. I use one and the licence say I use 2....
                Can you help me please?
                Thanks a lot

                Vanina

                Hello Anton,

                I am having the exact same problem. For whatever reason I got the message saying "msg_validation_error" when trying to use clothworks (and my license was validated just yesterday). After reading this post I deleted the file SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt and was able to validate once again, but now it says I have 2 seats taken. Can you please reset my count to only one?

                Also, is there a proper way of reseting seats in case of recycling my current computer?

                Thanks in advance.

                  I reset your seat count. Thank you for letting me know.

                  Currently, to reset your seat count, contact clothworks@sketchucation.com. Include your SketchUcation username in the email.

                      Hey, can you try deleting your licensing cache? To delete the cache, refer to the ClothWorks licensing manual, Known Issue section #3 (steps a - e): https://antonsynytsia.github.io/manuals/ClothWorks/license_manual_v174.pdf. Upon deleting the cache, try activating again.

                        Hello corneydj,

                        That is an interesting case. This may be an issue with SketchUcation licensing on particular configurations of Mac OS X. I sent you a private message regarding this.

                        Best regards,

                        Anton

                        I get the same error message. Clothworks just stopped working one day. Not sure what I did.

                              Anton,

                              Through getting a new computer and dealing with an OS crash yesterday I have 0 seats left for my license. It's showing 3 seats of 3 used with 0 left and I only use one seat. What should I do?
