I need to install Rhino 5 on my new Surface 2.0 tablet for a business trip on Saturday. I am wondering if anyone can give me a little guidance as to the process? It’s been so long since I installed Rhino I can’t remember if I need to install 4.0 first or not or maybe it’s 3.0? And what I do if it asks for a disc during the upgrade, as I have no optical drive internal or external. I have been using Rhino since the first beta and so everything I have might be an upgrade - I don’t know. It’s tough getting old!
I downloaded and installed the full version of 5.0 last night, and I’m currently stuck at the license key step. It does not take my version 5 key, but doesn’t tell me why.
Hi Jeff- you do not need a previous disc for V5 upgrade, only a previous version CD key. Is the key being asked for the previous version one, possibly, used to validate the upgrade?
Hi Jeff- but, is your V5 license an upgrade? My guess is yes - you had V3 and then V4 and then V5 say, with V4 and V5 being upgrades (i.e. cheaper than the full product price). So the upgrade refers to how the thing was bought, so to speak, and not what is currently on the machine - which can be nothing as far as Rhino goes. Does that make sense?
