-=====Answer===== +In addition to the **LIC** file, Rhino looks for a **LicensesZooClient.Settings** file. It contains the host name or IP address of your Zoo server. See [[https://wiki.mcneel.com/zoo/findzooservermac|How Does Rhino for Mac Find a Zoo Server?]] for details.
-Here is some helpful information.+

 +    -  Rhino creates the **/Users/Shared/McNeel/Rhinoceros/7.0/License Manager/Licenses/59ff75c9-9c71-4ef8-a290-6b590f3fc63a.lic**

-For standalone licensesthis file is encrypted, unreadable, and unique per system.+    - Install Rhino for Mac on a computerand 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**
