LAN Zoo License Manager
The LAN Zoo keeps your licenses on your private LAN server and lets you share them among the Rhino users on your network. (Overview video)
The LAN Zoo now supports Rhino 7. Learn how to upgrade your existing LAN Zoo installation to LAN Zoo 7.
Is the Zoo right for you? Only if:
- You are using compatible products.
- You have more users than licenses.
- You want to manage many licenses in one place.
- You are not an individual with multiple computers. See the license agreement…
If you answered no to any of these questions, then there are other licensing options that may meet your requirements.
