SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
-
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.

@Rich O Brien
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? -

Send an email to support[at]sketchucation.com with your details so we can look up your license.

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?
Regards
Jim

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

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 pcSketchUcation 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 -
