-======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 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 will create its files in the root of License Manager and License subfolder.
-====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.
