So there must be a permanent connection to the internet?
Not really. Tools will work offline if you validated while online.
Yes, sure... but with the need to connect every 5-7 days, not knowing when exactly, it's almost permanent... I already experienced a non working FredoCorner for several times. Why such a short timeframe and not at least one month like SU?

That's a query for Fredo. I've zero to do with license check frequency. That's the author's decision.
-
Check is once a month, that is, once a month, you need to be connected to the Internet when you launch a plugin, in order to check the license. This is by plugin, so if you have many, the occurrences of check are multiple and not necessarily synchronized.
All this is done to let users manage their seat assignment from the Sketchucation 'MyLicenses' page (a functionality that we will open soon).

I only have FredoCorner at the moment and i know that it stops working every few days - not exactly sure about the number of days, but it's definitely not more than a week.

Hi, I purchased the 40 dollar pack and was able to activate all plugins but FredoCorner. When I open the license manager it simply does not show the .scflicense for fredocorner. I even tried deleting the License signature as instructed in one of the replies and that only ended up taking an extra seat of my license that now I cannot release (I was only able to release it the second time I did it, so it is currently taking 2 seats of joint push-pull).
Any ideas of what might be happening with FredoCorner and how can I activate it?I already checked Sketchucation version and it is up to date. I already uninstalled fredocorner and reinstalled to make sure it wasnt a bug or something but without any success.
This is the log:

Are you referring to RoundCorner or FredoCorner?
FredoCorner and RoundCorner are different plugins, functionally and for licensing:
- RoundCorner is part of the bundle pack
- FredoCorner is licensed separately (it has been so for more than a year)
I sent you by email the license file for RoundCorner just in case.

I bought a basic license because I couldn't be Ruby(curviloft), but why can't I recognize it yet? I'm so angry Hurry up and fix it!

What do you mean? You received no license?
-
Your post is very very unclear.
What are you trying to do ?
What are you downloading [Curvloft...rbz ?]] ?
What have you installed ?
What shows up in your Extension Manager ?
Have you bought a license for it [Curviloft?] ?
Have you received an email with its license details [check spam-folder] ?
Have you activated that license ?Please reply more clearly.
Use Google-Translate, as I suspect English is not your first language...
Alternatively include the reply is you own language and we'll try to decode it...
We will get this resolved for you, but please help us to help you... -

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.
So far I have found out that its very likely a problem with Sketchucation store plugin not being able to reach the servers, but not even completely deactivating my firewall has helped so far, neither have countless reinstalls and it has cost me days of work now trying to fix this. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hi,
ERROR_A04 indicates some problem with your signature file. Please try to erase your signature file at
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\SCF Licenses\SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt(on windows) and try to re-activate your license.If after this you are still getting the same error message, please send your signature file by PM to me for further analysis.

Will send it to you later after work. I have tried the deletion trick several times before, also in tandem with different combinations of system restart, new SketchUp install before, after, firewall/no firewall and basically everything else that I could find in this thread! Thanks for the help in advance!!!!

Thank you. Waiting for the signature file.

Hey Fredo,
I'm wondering if there is a way to release the license even if we cannot reach our device anymore, it would be a major problem unless it is possible. -

We are working on a solution to enable online release but it will take probably a few more weeks until we introduce this to the public. Until then you can PM Fredo6 with the details of your license (Plugin name, license ID, etc) and the reason why you are asking for this or write to our support at support [at] sketchucation.com . After evaluating your request they might or might not release a seat for your license.

Thanks for the reply, right now I don't have any needs for those kind of problems, I was just asking this to prevent any future problems.

FIXED, maybe this solution helps someone else:
My computers name contained non ASCII letters that prevented SketchUcation from proper communication with the servers (thats at least how I understood it).
In my case these letters were Umlaute (Ä,Ü,Ö).
If you cant download from the store plugin anymore + your license gives out an A04 error then check if you have recently changed your machines name (especially for the Germans that thougt it would be a good idea to name their PCs "Bürorechner").@maschinengott said:

Hello. While trying to validate paid-for license for FredoCorner on SketchUp Make 2017, I get the following error popup dialogue box:
msg_validation_error Request to Sketchucation = ERROR_F09
UPDATE:
I had done quite a bit of searching, but not enough. I just read (above) where the plugin author answered a similar question with...
@unknownuser said:

- RoundCorner is part of the bundle pack
- FredoCorner is licensed separately (it has been so for more than a year)
I sent you by email the license file for RoundCorner just in case.
I was not aware of the difference, and I apparently installed FredoCorner instead of RoundCorner. I have no idea what the difference is between the two, and the license I bought says it is for RoundCorner. Working on this some more...
UPDATE 2:
Got RoundCorner license validated.
-
The error F09 shows a mismatch between the license and the extension...
I guess you've now resolved it having realized that there are two extensions with somewhat similar names and they need licensing separately... The FredoCorner is the newer one, [licensed separately], and RoundCorner is the older [in the bundle]... they each have slightly different functions - both are powerful...Am I right in my assumption that this is now resolved to your satisfaction ? ...

Hello from Turkey.
There is only PayPal as license payment fee, but PayPal is not available in Turkey. How else can I make the purchase?
