Hi Fredo,
I try your instruction. But it doesnt work.

Apparently, you were you able to activate the license for Clothworks. Can you confirm?

Could you try the following.

Go to the folder that you showed in your image

Delete the file "SCFLicenseSignature...."

Try again the procedure

You will have to reactivate the license for Clothworks from the purchased license file.

I tried this so many times, but that file keeps appearing when i click validate on any fredo plugins and comes out errors. i have bought a package of licenses. Please help

Hi,

Are you using the right license file to validate? The error message suggests a name mismatch is happening

I posted this in the Trimble forum and it was recommended that I post it here so I would get notification of any developments:

Is there or will there be an option for corporate customers requiring many licenses to purchase a corporate key or perhaps blocks of licenses? Managing individual licensing per user account is a nightmare for IT admins. PayPal is also a non-starter at a lot of businesses.

I see that there is another payment processor in the works but I don't see anything specific to bulk licensing which is really our issue. I can work around PayPal if I have to. Any information about future plans is appreciated.

Hi Derek,

We are discussing how to handle bulk licensing/sales and should have some more info next week.

FYI your PayPal processor wouldn't accept my corporate card for payment.

Yes the whole licensing for corporate users is a huge issue. I work for a company which is one of Sketchup's largest user bases and for us this process is untenable/unsupportable. Most users are not allowed administrative access and individual buying is not desirable and is frowned upon from an IT Asset management perspective.

Additionally receiving separate emails for each one is another less than ideal means of dealing with the licenses.

LOVE the products, the licensing process for these great products is far far far less than ideal, don't even get me started on S4u and that calamity of licensing which is effectively useless.

Thanks

Karl

Hi - looking for information/help on resetting licensing?
I have 3 occupied seats - currently don't have access to two of the machines I put the licenses on - is it possible to remote reset/wipe the licenses?

I am having trouble with my license. I have a paid valid license but an error came up saying my trial period had finished. I was stuck because of a deadline, so i purchased another license. this didn't solve my problem though. Attached is the screenshot to show the errors i am receiving
Has anyone got any ideas on what may be causing this?

Are you running the latest version of Sketchucation Tools? v4.2.4

TIG

@Jimbobwild
Your SCF licensing dialog [top-left] shows v4.1a, but the current licensing regime included with the latest SketchUcation Toolset is v5.3a !
You need to update the Toolset...

Has anyone get a $9,20 tax charge from Paypal or am I the only one?

When trying to buy Fredo6 $40 bundle, I mean

aimran

My computer is broken. So I cannot release the license to be used in another computer. Please help.
Is there a way to sign out the license from the other computer? just like how adobe creative cloud works?

Ps. I have sent email to support[at]sketchucation[dot]com

Yes, a VAT of 23% (Ireland) is added to the price. The normal procedure (as a business) would be to be able to enter your VAT ID, so that you don't have to pay the VAT. But Sketchucation does not offer this option. So the plugin bundle costs $49,20 in the EU.

VAT is obligatory to add within the EU. PayPal allows users to add relevant business info to their account so VAT on B2B is not applied where applicable. If you do not have a business PayPal account just send an email to support[at]sketchucation.com and we can generate an invoice so you can claim the VAT back in your country.

As far as i know the procedure to get VAT back afterwards is very laborious and i think not even possible for such small payments.
Like i said, the normal process is to get your VAT ID checked, so that you don't have to pay it in the first place.

I too have the

"msg_validation_error

Request to Sketchucation = ERRORA04" problem.

I cant validate my copy of FredoCorner (and I cant download/install from the SketchUcation Store plugin).The problems seem to be conncected.

So far I have tried:
-SketchUp 21 &22
-fresh new installs of SketchUp as admin (right click, install as admin etc)
-deleting the files in the License file loacation (as other people have been instructed to do when asking for help with this problem)
-reinstalling plugins
-deleting caches (Internet explorer etc), disabling proxy on my pc

SketchUcation plugin is the 4.2.5 and Fredo is the current one as well

The problem only exists on this machine (work pc) and all is fine on my home pc. I have no idea what to do at this point and neither what to google to fix this in my own.

Ok. I bought Fredo's bundle, got 8 emails, each with a licensing file in it, downloaded them all to a folder, but when I try to use the Validate function, it won't recognize the downloaded files, even though they say .scflicense. And theyre all only 1kb, which seems odd. Help?

Thanks,
Mark
