+ | ===== Frequently Asked Questions: Licensing in Rhino 6 and Rhino 7 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====What are my options for licensing Rhino?==== | ||
+ | See https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Sharing Licenses==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Can I use one license of Rhino 7 on multiple computers? | ||
+ | Yes, using one of our free-floating license managers. The LAN Zoo works over your office LAN or the Cloud Zoo uses an occasional Internet connection to float single-use licenses between multiple computers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==What if I want to install using single-computer licensing on multiple computers? | ||
+ | You'll need a separate license key for each computer. Rhino 5 allowed more than one validation per single-user license key. Rhino 6 and Rhino 7 do not. Rhino 7 adds Cloud Zoo Personal license management so you can take turns using a single license on multiple computers with an occasional Internet connection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==How can I share one or more licenses with multiple people?== | ||
+ | Add your licenses to a team in the Cloud Zoo (recommended), | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====Upgrading to Rhino 7 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==If I upgrade from Rhino 6 to Rhino 7, can I still use Rhino 6?== | ||
+ | Yes. When you upgrade, you are extending your license to give you access to Rhino 7 features - you are not adding a new license. This means that you can use Rhino 7 and older versions of Rhino on the same computer. You may not use Rhino 6 on one computer while someone else uses the Rhino 7 upgrade on another. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==If I put my Rhino 7 Upgrade license in the Cloud Zoo, can I still install Rhino 6?== | ||
+ | Yes, Rhino 6 can be installed, even if it has been upgraded to Rhino 7. Make sure to have both on the Zoo or Cloud Zoo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Can I put my Rhino 5 license in the Cloud Zoo?== | ||
+ | No. Rhino 5 does not support the Cloud Zoo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==If I put my Rhino 6 and Rhino 7 Upgrade Licenses in the Zoo, what happens?== | ||
+ | You'll need Zoo 7 SR 7 (or higher) to support Rhino 7 license keys. The Zoo will group your Rhino 6 and Rhino 7 Upgrade keys into a license " | ||
