i just now received my licence and tried to install it, since its an upgrade it asked for a recent licence which i then entered getting the message below eradicating my last days of trial completely leaving me with files i can not edit anymore and urgently need!!!
what should i do here? why is that so difficult??
i wanted to lock the licence to this computer i am working on, maybe that is too difficult for Rhino to understand? i tried to remove my licences online but there is no option to remove only to add.
the only option is to link my licence to my user account, which i wanted to avoid because start up depends on my internet working and i would like to speed up start up times which are so slow with licence being requested each time. so what can i do to fix this?
from what i gathered is that on windows the licence is only being requested once in a while, but on mac it searches for the licence online every single time.
either way i would like to fix my licence to the computer which am not capable right now.
You can choose where you want to put your license. Note that the Rhino 7 → 8 upgrade is still considered one licence. Since your Rhino 7 is on your Cloud Zoo that is where the Rhino 8 needs to be as well.
Here are the instructions to remove both and put them standalone on the same machine.
i gave up a bit too early. clicking into the number once more lets one finally remove it, i was expecting a remove button to appear before that already.
there still is one bug, when i remove the licence from v7 either and enter it as a locked licence it tells me that my licence has expired and keeps rhino in read only mode. after restarting it did not complain anymore. nevermind thanks again!
