Getting Started with Plugin Licensing

[seppeldue]

Hi @dale ,
i´d like to ask/clarify a few questions:

1. Does this only work on Windows and NOT on MacOs? (as it is stated in the Guides)

2. When distributed via the package manager, is the Zoo plug-in automatically installed in the Zoo’s plug-in’s folder?

3. Once i obtain a certificate, can i use it for multiple commands(.rhp files)/Zoo plug-ins in my plugin bundle?

4. Do i have to write a Zoo plug-in for each command or could i use one for all of them?

Thanks

Hi @seppeldue,

@seppeldue

Plug-ins written for Rhino for Mac can access the Zoo.

@seppeldue

When distributed via the package manager, is the Zoo plug-in automatically installed in the Zoo’s plug-in’s folder?

No. The Zoo software is generally not installed on the same system as Rhino. Plan on having a separate installation process for your Zoo plug-in.

@seppeldue

Once i obtain a certificate, can i use it for multiple commands(.rhp files)/Zoo plug-ins in my plugin bundle?

Yes.

@seppeldue

Do i have to write a Zoo plug-in for each command or could i use one for all of them?

A single Zoo plug-in can support licensing for multiple products.

Let me know if this helps.
