Zoo - License Manager

The Zoo lets you share Rhino, Flamingo, Penguin, Brazil, and Bongo licenses (CD-Keys) among users on the same network workgroup. When these products are installed as the workgroup nodes instead of stand-alone, it works like this:

• When a workgroup node starts, it requests a license from the Zoo.
• An unused license is assigned to the node.
• When a node shuts down, the license is returned to the Zoo's license pool.

• Free - The Zoo is a free download.
• No extra costs - Special versions of Rhino, Flamingo, Penguin, Brazil, or Bongo are not needed.
• No special hardware needed - The Zoo will run on any system in the same network workgroup.
• No special software needed - The Zoo will run on any Windows system, including Windows XP, Vista, or 7, and Windows Server 2000, 2003 and 2008 systems.
• Simple setup - Install the Zoo on any system in the workgroup and type the license keys into the Zoo instead of the individual systems.
• Check out - License keys can be checked out so laptop users can disconnect from the network. The key can be checked in again when the laptop is reconnected to the network.
• Robust - Workgroup nodes will keep working even if the network connection or server is down.
• Routable - The Zoo works on both single-segments networks, or networks where systems are separated by routers.
• Mixed environment - A mixture of Workgroup Nodes and Standalone Nodes on the same Windows Domain or Workgroup is supported.
• Runs as a service - If you reboot the system with the Zoo, the Zoo will automatically start up.
