My registered plugins
-
Long shot I know.
Feeling particularly thick and wondering if there is a way to recall all my registered plugins after a complete pc failure and new disk/install.
What is left of my marbles tell me know Jose way.
Yes, I know but in my defence it IS one of THOSE months again....

Sketchucation Tools keeps a record per device of your installs that we call Bundles
You could look up the bundle for the device and mass install everything again.

Thanks Rich, much appreciated.
-
OK, but if you have a new pc and the old one is dead how do you get the bundle information?
Is there a way to save the bundle on a backup drive just in case something like this happens in the future?

Have you looked at Bundles on your new device? You will see your other device/s Bundles. I have bundles from 2014 onwards for devices I longer have.

I do not have a new pc yet so, are you saying that SketchUcation saves them on you site as part of our profile information?

Not really, I'm saying your user account activity with installs is stored for you to retrieve whenever you want.
It was implemented to help those in educational/corporate sectors to easily setup new devices.

OK, just to understand, when you say it …is stored for you to retrieve… where is it stored? Since I will be on a new machine without access to my old machine, where is it retrieved from?

A mySQL database on the server stores your bundle info to retrieve when you need it. So long as you have an account you can retrieve the info for that account.
It is not stored locally on your machine.

Thanks Rich. That is really goof to know. Hope I was not being to inquisitive.
My next issue will be the licensing of my Fredo6 plugins. I had received a set of emails with the license info but my laptop had died and I could only access it on my iPad since my laptop had died. Just another challenge when I do get a new machine.

When you have your new machine your emails should be available on it, if you set it up to receive them. Then just add the license files to an appropriate folder and access them from there.
Or download them to your ipad and email them to yourself when you need them, or pop them into an icloud location, I could go on.
