  • How to upgrade from the academic to the commercial version?

    To do this, you need to purchase a commercial upgrade Rhino.
    Upgrading from an academic to a commercial version is only possible if the academic version is younger than the current commercial version.

  • What licenses are available for the academic environment?

    1. Single User License:

    • – It is available to students, teachers and educational institutions;
    • – One license per student or teacher;
    • – Educational institutions can purchase as many licenses as they need;
    • – It cannot be sold, shared or transferred to another user.

    2. 30 User License (only for educational institutions):

    • – A 30-user license allows you to use Rhino on computers in the same classroom/room. There is no need to connect to a local network;
    • – Floating network license for 30 users. Requires LAN connection and Zoo license manager.
  • How do I activate my license?

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

    Sign up for a Rhino account. After receiving the registration email, verify your account.

    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.

  • How can I get a demo version of Rhino?

    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.

Delivering Jewelry Design Orders

I joined the course with many doubts since I had never done any kind of drawing before. After a lot of work on the course and self-study, I now complete 2-4 jewelry design orders per week as a freelancer. The more I worked on assignments, the more questions I had. All the points were discussed during the classes, which gave maximum results in the end.

  • Stanislav
Worth Every Penny

Being a trainer myself, I approached choosing a training course for my employees very seriously. Vlad has a talent for teaching, can captivate, engage, and explain complex things in simple terms. Although there was a lack of information on strength calculation in Caramba, it was not part of the course program. The result is, we trained a specialist for a new direction of work. He is now developing independently and can already train other colleagues. The course is not cheap but worth every penny.

Systematized knowledge

I have passed the basic course with Vladislav. I am more than happy with the course. I’ve sorted everything out for myself, systematized various knowledge from YouTube and the Internet into a single whole, so to speak) Maybe later I will take a course on Grasshopper. Thank you!

  • Alexander
The teacher’s professionalism

I appreciated the teacher’s professionalism. Each lesson provides a lot of information, and questions are always answered in great detail! I sincerely recommend this course to everyone!

  • Olena
Experience with real projects

In general, I am very satisfied with the course. I liked the fact that after the lesson, the teacher individually answers the questions that arise during doing the homework. Lessons are more than enough to learn and work on real projects.

  • Ekaterina
Clear and structured

The course surprised me with its simplicity. The material is presented clearly and consistently, with detailed explanations. There are practical lessons. Overall, I am satisfied — I recommend it!
