Comment: When Rhino V3 is installed or run on a computer running in an Asian language, Rhino requires a hardware lock. This was a requirement of our Asian distributors.

• If you prefer to leave your Windows system in the Asian language, you will need a parallel or USB port hardware lock. These are available from Robert McNeel & Associates. They are included in V3 Rhinos intended to be sold in Asia.
• The other option is to go into the Control Panel and run the Regional and Language Options applet. Both the “Standards and format” and the Advanced - “Language for non-Unicode programs”. need to be set to US English or another Western European language. Rhino will no longer ask for a hardware lock.

Note: For Rhino V4, this hardware lock system was replaced with a license validation system.
