To be specific, Curviloft, Joint Push Pull and the original Round Corner are the ones I use or used to use. All three were developed and running just fine, for my uses anyway, long before SU 2017. I was using them without issue just 6 months ago, still on SU 2017.
Ever since Trimble took over from Google and switched to a subscription model, a lot of us hobbyists felt left behind. I dont use it professionally, and only now a few times a month for personal projects, so a high subscription price is out of the question. Anyone still using 2017 now no longer has access to the extension warehouse or the 3d warehouse via the app. This hurts. Something about a security flaw prompted this but I can still visit the website. I get it.
The three plugins I mentioned work just fine on 2017 but i understand the development of newer/ better to keep pace with the upgrades in the master program are necessary. What I dont understand is cutting off access to the older, less sophisticated versions for the older version of SU 2017. Having donated back in the day for plugins designed for a free program, now being asked to buy a license to keep using them, hurts. A lot.
What's so wrong with a free/ hobbyist license? Treat the hobbyists right and maybe when they decide to go pro, they bring you and your programs with them to the commercial licensed platforms.

RE: [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24
Ok, I guess add me to the list of users who can no longer use Fredo plugins. Running 2017 Make, on mac os 10.14. All the newest sketchucation/ fredo dependencies installed.
Every last Fredo plugin now comes up with a license error as having expired back in early February.
Am I to understand that there are absolutely NO free options on these plugins anymore? Even the ones I have donated to and been using with zero problems for over 5 years? No other plugins downloaded from Sketchucation seem to have this issue. What changed and why?
