SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
-
Following on from @fredo6 's comment...
If each user logs in separately then surely a simple cmd script [written by your IT guys] auto-running at their login, could copy the needed license files over into their '../appdata/local/scf licenses' directory. Having this consistent location set up for everyone's folders/files should ease the license reading / validation ? Perhaps a logout cmd script could also run to tidy up and remove the no longer needed files, if thought appropriate ? ... -
I think this is exactly the problem indeed. It would be fantastic if this could be adjusted. We work in the computer lab on Windows 11.

One of the ICT staff members has tried this, but so far it has not been successful.

Step by step questions...
Can your IT guy get a cmd script to run at user's login ?
Can your IT guy then make that cmd script copy the license files from an admin-account's folder-structure into an equivalent folder in the user's account - e.g. '../appdata/local/scf licenses' ?
If this happens why can't the user then see the expected license files ?
I'm no cmd script guru. but surely your IT guys have some helpful ideas ??e.g. If you manually copy over the license files from an admin-account's folder-structure into an equivalent folder in the user's account - e.g. '../appdata/local/scf licenses' - does that then work as expected ? If not, then why not ?

Thank you TIG,
I have just forwarded your information and the ICT colleagues will take a look at it. I’m not a CMD script guru myself either, so hopefully they can work with this information. As soon as I hear more from them, I’ll let you know so I can answer your questions.
@fredo6, do you see any possibility to modify the custom directory?

Hello.
I've been using Fredo Corner for a number of years (currently using version 2.7a) in SketchUp 2017, but never had an issue like this. After doing a full wipe and clean install of windows 10, I attempted to reinstall all of the usual extensions, but the Fredo Corner extension keeps giving me a license error, saying that because it isn't licensed due to having too many seats using it, I must purchase the paid version, to make up the difference, or words to that effect. I just rechecked and redownloaded the extension and license , but it continues to state that there are too many seats using it, guy I'm the only person in my family using Sketchup or the extension, so I have no way of explaining why this type of error is happening.
Any ideas? -
