Hobbyist License

Hi there, I used to work with Rhino in a commercial capacity but have switched jobs since then. I want to mess around with making some plugins, but in a hobbyist capacity. Is there a license option for this use case? Because paying for a full commercial license would be a bit steep for that.

Sorry, there’s not.
If you are teaching or taking a class at a state accredited school, then you would likely qualify for EDU license pricing.
