Zoo Returning Expired Licenses
Product: Zoo 4.0
Summary: Solving the “This license of Rhino is expired” problem.
Question
We are having difficulties getting Rhino 4.0 working in network-node mode on our Windows 7 64-bit workstations. We have one workstation that is working and that had SR8, the others that are not working are SR9.
What happens is when starting Rhino 4.0 the client receives a message stating that This license of Rhino is expired, and offers the choice to “Upgrade this license”, “Enter a new key”, or “Close Rhino”.
Please provide any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.
Answer
This error message is incorrect; the licenses are not expired. Instead, the problem is that the license file in C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 4.0\System\Rhino.key is not writable by Rhino.
To fix this, start Rhino 4.0 on each computer as Administrator once, then close Rhino. Rhino should start successfully as a standard user from then on.
