Rhinoceros-7 Evaluation version.
16" MBP. Monterey.

On the splash screen,
My license email has been logged in.
However, it stops at initializing and does not start.
Of course, I even restarted, reinstalled, and re-registered my license.

What should I do?

My first guess would be to restart your computer.

Rhino has asked the OS to open your Internet browser and check the status of your license.
Everything on our end looks fine.

My guess is Monterey has ignored the browser request.

Any luck?

Oh… There’s still a problem!

It works when it is turned on for the first time after rebooting.
But if I turn off the rhino and open it again, I fall into infinite initializing again!

The only way is to reboot the MacBook and see the template screen normally.
It’s a really exhausting bug. :frowning:

This is the first report I’ve heard of this as a repeatable problem.

What Internet Browser are you using?
Are you running any antimalware tools?

6

I use both safari and chrome. And anti-malware, anti-virus tools are not used.

–
I think I just found the cause. Probably!

I use an external monitor for the MacBook Pro.
After rebooting while connected to the monitor, Rhino works well!

When I appear in the “initializing bug,”
I disconnect the external monitor and reopen the Rhino with only a MacBook Pro, and the template screen appears! Working! (without reboot)
However, when the external monitor is reconnected, and the Rhino is opened, the ‘initializing bug’ occurs again.

Since login is always good, it seems to be a hardware bug, not an Internet problem.
In my case, it is related to the external monitor connection status.

I tried many times and the same result. It’s weird, right?

In addition, there is an usb port in the external monitor (LG UltraFine 5K), but all of them are empty. One Thunderbolt 3 cable supplies power and display.
