-For standalone licenses, this file is encrypted, unreadable, and unique per system.
+    - Install Rhino for Mac on a computer, and license it to connect to your LAN Zoo server.
+    - Rhino creates the **/Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/License Manager/Licenses/781b000c-8d0b-4ed3-8ead-213bdb848f39.lic**

-.) For systems that have a network license, you will also find an additional file:
-  LicensesZooClient.settings
+**NOTES:**
-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.
+    - For standalone licenses, the license file is encrypted, unreadable, and unique per system. It cannot be copied to different computers for deployment.
+    - For LAN Zoo and Cloud Zoo licenses, the license file is clear text, and can be moved between one system and another.
