    • Floating network license for 30 users. Requires LAN connection and Zoo license manager.

    REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO CONFIRM STATUS

    Students:

    • valid student card;
    • a certificate affixed with the seal of the university stating that you are its student.

    You will need a Rhino account to use a non-machine license.

    After logging in to your personal account, go to the Licenses section. Next, click on your account name.
    On the license management page, click the Add license button. The Licenses section displays information about licenses.

    For holders of multiple Rhino licenses or an academic class (Lab) license, creating a team will be convenient. To do this, you need to create an administrator account, then create a command in this account.

    Next, you need to add a license to the team, then send email invitations to users using the Team Management -> Invite Members button.

    Install the Rhino software. When you first start the program, click the Login button and enter your account to activate the program.

  • Rhino Demo

    Click on the «Download» button and fill out the form with correct data. A key for 90 days and a link for the package installation will be sent to your email address within 5 minutes. Check your spam folder if you have not received an email.

  • Can I install my Rhino on more than one computer?

    The license agreement allows you to install Rhino on all computers that you directly control, provided that the license only runs on one computer at a time. Rhinoceros is licensed on a “simultaneous use” basis and not on a “per installation” basis.

    As stated in the license agreement, McNeel grants to you the non-exclusive license to use the Software on any computers owned by you so long as the number of simultaneous users does not exceed the number of licenses you own.

    You can not “loan” your Rhino to a friend or family member.

    You can use the free floating license manager the Zoo, to float a small number of licenses between a larger number of users.

Cloud License

Our recommended method is cloud-based licensing through a Rhino/Cloud Zoo account. This requires creating an online Rhino account and allows you to access Rhino 8 from any computer without entering a license key each time. You can also use Rhino for Windows and macOS on different computers without needing two separate licenses. The license key will be linked to your Rhino account just once. You don’t need to stay connected to the internet all the time – a weekly connection is enough. Additionally, you can create user groups to share a pool of commercial licenses with your team.

Single Computer - Offline Use

Prefer to install Rhino on a single workstation? During installation, click the gear icon on the first screen and select "This computer" to install the license for offline use.

Local Network License

The licensing method you select during the first installation can be changed later. For businesses with multiple users, Rhino offers network licensing, allowing access to a single license across multiple computers within your local network. Only one user can use the license at a time. Floating licenses can be managed using the free Zoo License Manager for Windows. Instructions and download links are available on the site.

You can also change your licensing method after installation if needed.

Development in rhino 8

ShrinkWrap: Get gold from the rubble

ShrinkWrap creates a sealed mesh around open or closed meshes, NURBS, SubD and point cloud geometries: ideal for creating meshes for 3D printing.

BuiltMac in

Build for Mac

Rhino for Mac is faster than ever, runs the same on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and uses Apple Metal technology for display. With this release, the user interface on Mac is closer than ever to its Windows counterpart.

ShrinkWrap in rhino 8

SubDCreases

Anti-aliasing in SubD creates a feature between a smooth and a sharp edge without adding complexity to the SubD control mesh, great for creating chamfer-like features.

ModelingSimplified in rhino 8

Modeling simplified

Rhino 8 opens up new modeling workflows like PushPull and adds intuitive new features to Gumball, automatic control planes, and more.
