+======Rhino for Mac Managed Distribution======
+> **Product:** //[[zoo:home|Zoo]]//
+> **Summary:** //Discusses how to deploy Rhino for Mac configured to use the Zoo//
+=====Question=====
+We recently purchased a Rhino for Mac Education Lab License. What are some strategies to help deploy it configured to use a Zoo license server on several computers at our university?
+We use [[http://www.jamfsoftware.com/products/casper-suite/|Casper]] and other management systems to build packages and push applications out to client systems. This usually includes bundling the license configuration information with the distribution application.
+=====Answer=====
+Here is some helpful information.
+.) When you run Rhino for Mac for the first time, it creates the following folders:
+====Rhino 7====
+  /Users/Shared/McNeel/Rhinoceros/7.0/License Manager
+  /Users/Shared/McNeel/Rhinoceros/7.0/License Manager/Licenses
+====Rhino 6====
+  /Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/6.0/License Manager
+  /Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/6.0/License Manager/Licenses
+====Rhino 5====
+  /Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/License Manager
+  /Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/License Manager/Licenses
+.) The **License Manager/Licenses** folder contains Rhino's license file:
+**NOTE**: A common mistake is to confuse ///Library// (the global library) and ///Users/[user_account]/Library// (the user's library).  Please make sure you are looking in the global library.
+Also, Rhino 6 and Rhino 7 create the Zoo license files under **License Manager** in explicit **6** & **7** subfolder, while Rhino 5 creates its files in the root of **License Manager** and **License** subfolder. In other words, Rhino 5 does not create a **5** subfolder.
+====Rhino 7====
+ff75c9-9c71-4ef8-a290-6b590f3fc63a.lic
+====Rhino 6====
+d41-3a41-4474-99b3-684032a4f4df.lic
+====Rhino 5====
+b000c-8d0b-4ed3-8ead-213bdb848f39.lic
+For standalone licenses, this file is encrypted, unreadable, and unique per system.
+For network, or Zoo, licenses, this file is clear text, readable, and can be moved between one system and another.
+.) For systems that have a network license, you will also find an additional file:
+  LicensesZooClient.settings
+that is in the **License Manager** folder. This file is also clear text, readable, and can be moved between one system and another. It contains the **name of the Zoo server** as entered into Rhino.
+If your deployment system performs steps 1.), 2.), and 3.), besides pushing the Rhino application bundle into each system's **Applications** folder, you should be able to deploy Rhino for Mac on all your systems.
