Multiple Rhino Sessions and Licensing

No longer supported

Zoo 4.0 was the license manager for Rhino 4, which reached end of life long ago. This article is kept for historical reference. For current LAN Zoo licensing, see the LAN Zoo guide.

Question

If the Zoo has 4 licenses available, for example, and one user starts Rhino 4 times on his computer, are all 4 licenses used?

Answer

No, a single license would be assigned to all 4 sessions of Rhino. A Zoo license is assigned to a computer/user, not to a running session of Rhino.

The Zoo allows multiple sessions of Rhino to be used by one user on one computer.
