License for Rhino 8, cross-platform?

The license purchase page shows “Windows and Mac”
Does this mean I could use a single license for both Windows and Mac. Surely not at the same time, as in logging off from Windows and logging in on Mac, vice versa at a time?

One license=one user (machine) at a time - but can be either a Mac or a PC, same license.

The only time Rhino was platform specific was for Version 5, the first release for Mac Rhino.

Thank you for confirming.

How could we change that description so it was more clear?

Maybe it was just me, but probably I was looking for something like “a single license works for both Windows / Mac at a time” in parenthesis or something.

There is a very strong bias here internally to minimize verbiage. It does help with language translations, and it looks better, but I think we go too far and we lose clarity.
Sorry

I think “Single seat, Windows and/or Mac” would be closest to industry standard terminology. That would also answer a question I asked tech support recently, which was to confirm that such a license can be assigned to a team not just an individual.

I think you probably want to either put a sentence or two on the page to explain licensing or put a hyperlink right next to it to more detail.

Thanks. I’ll pass those suggestions along.

On this page, I see:

Is this clearer?

This presentation makes sense to me.

If a significant number of people call/email, I’d still be tempted to link to an faq or put an explicit but short paragraph somewhere it’s immediately visible.

If you do so, don’t be shy about making it a sales pitch for the value points of no subscription and user flexibility for number of installs and multiple operating systems.

I hadn’t seen that before. Great! Love the shrink wrap video.
