*When I get the attached window for “plugins (extensions) for an update”, is it just a reminder that I can update those plugins or can I update them from there?
Thank you.
You would either need to use the Sketchucatioin Extension Store tool to update or go to Sketchucation to download LibFredo6. If you are using the Sketchucation Extension Store you would get an indication there are updates available when you open it and you can update all in a couple of clicks.

Thank you Dave!!
I still don’t understand… The extension manager does not let me update, while I’m logged in. In the Check Fredo 6 Plugins For Update window I don’t see a possibility to update. And also I don’t see there a sign that says that I do have to update. Only the red color in the Libfredo line looks like an alarm… Is it necessary to uninstall and re-install? It looks a bit incomplete like this. Mostly I click it away and wait until it stops working, but that should not be the way to do it.
Fredo6 extensions are from SketchUcation, not the EW. The extension manager shows all extensions regardless of the source and offers the update button even if it can’t update them. That is arguably a poor design. In any case, go to the SketchUcation plugin store to update LibFredo6.
Thank you! I already tried that and it appears that I have the latest version installed. So the red color in Fredo’s window does not mean anything I assume. I agree with you that the design of all this does not win awards 
If you read what that is telling you, you do not have the current version installed. It says you have version 13.9a installed and the latest version is 14.2a. For LibFredo6 and extensions like Round Corner you must have the current version of the Sketchucation Extension Store tool installed. Use it to update LibFredo6.
If LibFredo6 was up to date on your computer, it would show like this:

What Dave said…
Perhaps you need to restart SketchUp for Fredo’s version checker to see the updated version ?
SketchUcation controls versions and updates of its exclusive extensions, but the built-in Extension Manager confuses you by showing extensions that are not ‘theirs’…
Hi TIG. I’m on the current version of Libfredo6. But to me it’s a always bit confusing. Sketchucation, Extension Store, extensions to run extensions, extensions to check extensions, I often don’t know where to look. And in this case I see a check for updates from Fredo, but cannot update from there. I simply uninstall the extension in question and then re-install, and I do that when I see that it doesn’t work properly anymore. Dave says I must have the Sketchucation Extension Store tool installed. Is that also a plugin? I looked for it but cannot find anything like that. To me it’s an unorganized system, the whole plugin idea. That’s why I work with as little extensions as possible. And this is not a complaint, I can see a lot of people working with a lot of extensions. And Justin demonstrates that it can work. But I use Sketchup for a long time now, almost no extensions, and developed my own way to work with it. With stunning results I must say. But after many years of using it I conclude that the Sketchup app (together with Podium) to me is a perfect way to make my designs, but I use it as pure as possible. Sorry for the long story, just wanted to vent a little…
The Sketchucation Extension Store is required for the licensing of Fredo6’s extensions. That is explained in the first post of the threads for his paid extensions like Round Corner. You can get it from the Plugin Store at Sketchucation.
Use it to install Fredo’s extensions as well as others you might get from Sketchucation. If you do that, the tool will help you keep the extensions up to date. It’ll also generate a bundle of extensions so when you update to a new SketchUp version or move to a different computer, those extensions can be installed en masse.
Ah I have that extension, but I never have seen that it updated something. And I don’t see a button to ask it to update something, only to disable or load. However that also can be done with the Sketchup Extension Manager.
IF you had been using the Sketchucation Extension Store to install extensions from Sketchucation it would keep track of them and show you there are updates available. There would be an indication that updates are available at the top left part of the window next to the red button.
Clicking on that button would take you to the window showing the available updates. In my case all of my extensions are up to date so I see this:
On the main page you can search for extensions to install. Clicking on Downloads will show you the extensions you’ve installed with the tool.
Bundles shows the various bundles that have been created. When it comes time to update to the next version of SketchUp I will install the Sketchucation Extension Store, sign in, and then use it to install the bundle of extensions I want.
Thank you Dave, that clears things up.
