Core hour billing on Windows 11

Is core hour billing supported on Windows 11? I’m trying to use RHINO_TOKEN in CI with other Windows versions, but I get the regular licensing prompt when opening Rhino.exe (not headless).

You need windows server 2022 for Rhinocompute according to the documentation provided my mcneel

Yes, I did see that. Somehow I thought the Rhino token would work to start plain Rhino, since it also works for testing plugins that are not based on Rhino Compute. Tested so far with Rhino.Testing on Windows Server 2019 and 2022.

So I’ll rephrase my questions: in which setting does Rhino accept a Rhino token?

  • Is it limited to Windows Server 2019 and 2022?
  • Is it limited to service accounts?
  • In which modes does it work? Rhino Inside only?

Core-hour billing is needed for licensing Rhino in server operating systems, like Windows Server.

My question is not really where it is needed, but where it is allowed. Is it only allowed on Windows Server?

At this time, yes.
