SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
-
I bought roundcorner. I activated it and used it. Later I run SketchUp, roundcorner isn't activated. I activate again and use it. 5 minutes later, still running the same SketchUp instance, roundcorner isn't activated again. Now I activate it, it says it's activated, but when I click roundcorner to use it, it says not activated. It is stuck in this loop.
I am disappointed. I was willing to give my money for the roundcorner tool, but the DRM is broken and I can no longer use the tool I bought. Needless to say this does not encourage me to buy any more tools. I understand DRM is needed, but it must not get in the way of paid users and absolutely must not prevent people from using what they have paid for.

What version of SketchUp are you using? Your profile shows 2020 Free/Make which is impossible.

I also freed up the 3 seats for ToolsOnSurface. -

Now it works fine, thanks!
I found that when using a VPN connection, the activated license does not release itself!

That shouldn't be a surpise. The license is assigned to your computer but you're using the VPN to hide your computer from the outside world so the lcense server can't see your machine.

Actually, the server only sees a token, HW ID, which is generated randomly for the computer and not related to the true computername. The server does not 'see' machines, but just receive text messages from the computer, as any web site.
Instead, I think that the Sketchup Http API has some problem and may not like VPN, or more exactly, may consider that there is no connection, especially if the VPN is activated after Sketchup is started. The API tends to freeze its status when it opens Sketchup.

SketchUp doesn't specifically support virtualized networks though. So it amounts to the same thing.

I did not know that. Is this documented?

Sorry, what I meant was that I first turned on the VPN connection and then activated the Fredo6 license, however there is no release option for this seat and it cannot release itself.
This resulted in several failed activations and I couldn't release them myself and had to ask Fredo to do it for me.
Here, the network is heavily blocked and in many cases the VPN needs to be turned on when using the computer. -
Hi, i'm having the same issue where it says license seats exceeded, i'm only using 2 seats in my PC and laptop, is there a way to release all seats so i can validate again.

There's only one license for FreodCorner. If you purchased the Fredo6 bundle it includes a license for Round Corner, not FredoCorner.

Do you get an error message when you try to validate it? What exactly does the message say?
Your proofile indicates you are using SketchUp 2021 Free/Make. There is no such version. What version are you really using?

No, it needs to phone home to activate it.

Hi,
I am trying to buy the fredo6 bundle from Pakistan, but there is no option for that in the debit/credit card section. Can you provide any alternative so that I can use these tools?
Thank you!

Hi - I just purchased licenses for all of your extensions and I keep getting this message that I have exceeded the seats.
