I Cannot Find My Rhino License Key

Older Rhino version
This article covers older versions of Rhino. For current licensing information, see Licensing.

The Rhino license key is essential to establishing ownership of Rhino. License keys are a valuable part of the Rhino license. Keep them in a secure place.

If you can’t find your license key, try the license key finder.

If you owned Rhino version 1, 2, or 3, the CD shipped in a pocket inside the back cover of the User’s Guide, so check your bookcase. The User’s Guide was about 1" (2.5 cm) thick, with a glossy black cover and a prominent Rhino logo on the front. Rhino version 4 shipped in a DVD case with a black label. Rhino version 5 shipped in a DVD case with a white label until eLIS was introduced. After that, Rhino 5 and later licenses were delivered by email.

If you can’t find your copy of Rhino and you registered it, we may be able to help find your license key. If you skipped registration, we won’t have a record of it. We didn’t track product serial numbers when we shipped them, so your order number won’t help.

Replacement CDs aren’t available for Rhino versions 1 and 2, because of contractual obligations for core programming we licensed from a third party at the time.

If you’ve searched everywhere for the physical product, replacement options are available for the full commercial version. For details, email us or call the nearest regional office.
