Great, just try and keep on top of your extension updates and you should be ok.

If you https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php page doesn't allow releasing then those devices are running the older license system.

Glad it's sorted.

I'm sorry to report the problem has returned without any explanation...

Launching the Extension Store, the window title shows 4.3.1

What is the problem now I wonder?

Ah! Thank you sir! I'm updated to LibFredo6: v14.1a

Hope that'll do it, thanks again

It's happening again, this time I can't even use the tool even if I validate the license!

Everything was fine for a while but now it says I can't use Curviloft. So, I go online, reactivate the license, but as soon as I try to use it again, it says it's invalid....

not again

After validating the license through the web, I turn of the wifi off again

license never satisfied

But as soon as I try to use the tool, again, the same error, as above....

I can't use the tool at all now...

now the crazy thing is appeased somehow, probably because I posted about it!

Don't know how long it will behave though...

Rich O Brien

It could be that your running Libfredo 14.1 and its recently updated to 14.2

I need to check with Fredo to see if something changed that could cause this to happen.

Thank you again! I updated LibFredo and hopefully no more issues...

Until 14.3

We are working on a better prompt for helping users to update necessary extensions.

I'm having an issue releasing licenses on my 3 seats. I use a virtual desktop from VMware for work and I had assumed it was because the computer "wipes" itself every night. Is there any other way I can release these seats?

I released your seats. Please make sure your devices are running Sketchucation Tools 4.3 and Libfredo 14+

Once you have those you can manage seats at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php
