 +======Convert a Rhino That Uses the LAN Zoo to a Stand-alone License======
  
 +> **Product:** //[[zoo:home|LAN Zoo]]//
 +> **Summary:** //Discusses how to convert a Rhino for Windows or Rhino for Mac installation from a network node to a stand-alone node.//
 +
 +=====Question=====
 +By mistake, I installed one of my Rhino seats to use the LAN Zoo, when I really intended to install it as a stand-alone  license. When I launch Rhino and go to the **Licenses** page in the **Options** dialog, the **Convert** button is disabled. I logged in as administrator and tried again, but the button is still disabled. How do I change this installation into a stand-alone node?
 +
 +=====Answer=====
 +To convert a Rhino installation from a network node to a stand-alone node, follow these steps:
 +
 +==== Windows ====
 +
 +1. Login to the workstation as the Administrator or as a user with administrative rights.
 +
 +2. Run Windows Explorer.
 +
 +3. Navigate to the following folder:
 +  C:\ProgramData\McNeel\Rhinoceros\<version>\License Manager\Licenses
 +
 +> **Note:** //By default, Microsoft has hidden the ProgramData folder. You can either use **Folder Options** to allow display of hidden files and folders, or you can type **%ProgramData%** in the address bar in Windows Explorer to navigate to it.//
 +
 +4. Delete the following file (if found):
 +  // Rhino 7
 +  59ff75c9-9c71-4ef8-a290-6b590f3fc63a.lic
 +  
 +  // Rhino 6
 +  55500d41-3a41-4474-99b3-684032a4f4df.lic
 +  
 +  // Rhino 5
 +  60515f84-8f7f-41da-801d-1c87e32f88f5.lic
 +  
 +5. Navigate to the following folder:
 +  C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\<version>\License Manager\Licenses
 +
 +> **Note:** //By default, Microsoft has hidden your AppData folder. You can either use **Folder Options** to allow display of hidden files and folders, or you can type **%AppData%** in the address bar in Windows Explorer to navigate to it.//
 +
 +6. Delete the following file (if found):
 +  // Rhino 7
 +  59ff75c9-9c71-4ef8-a290-6b590f3fc63a.lic
 +  
 +  // Rhino 6
 +  55500d41-3a41-4474-99b3-684032a4f4df.lic
 +  
 +  // Rhino 5
 +  60515f84-8f7f-41da-801d-1c87e32f88f5.lic
 +
 +7. Right-click in the Rhino shortcut and pick **Run as Administrator**.
 +
 +8. Enter and validate your Rhino license key.
 +
 +====macOS====
 +
 +There are two ways to change Rhino for Mac licenses.  
 +
 +The first - and easiest - way is to run Rhino for Mac, then navigate to //Preferences...// > //Licenses// > //Change your license key//
 +
 +If the method above does not work, you may need to delete your license file and enter a new one.  Make sure you have your license code recorded before you attempt the following steps:
 +
 +1. Quit Rhino for Mac and switch to the Finder application.
 +
 +2. Navigate to //Finder// > //Go// > //Go to Folder...// and enter the following folder:
 +  /Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/License Manager/Licenses
 +
 +3. Delete the license file contained in the //Licenses// folder.
 +
 +4. Launch Rhino for Mac again.
 +
 +5. Enter and validate your Rhino license key.
