I have upgraded to V7 after using the beta for a while - all good.
So now I’m working on a project; I have two instances of rhino open at present, and I go to open a third to paste a subset of objects in, and I get the message popup “Rhinoceros 7 needs a license”
I have a license otherwise I wouldn’t be able to run the two instances I already have open; I’m in the middle of working - what is all this about?
Please tell me this is a bug, and not how V7 is intended to run - ie at random times hassling me about whether the program is legit…?
I have never had this happen with V5 of V6; once I’ve paid for, and installed the software, I don’t want to hear about all the backstory and housekeeping McNeel might have setup…
Its like I’m driving my car on a B road somewhere in the rain and concentrating on the next tricky set of curves (!) coming up, and the car suddenly stops, refuses to move till I re-confirm I already paid for it… hardly acceptable, and not acceptable with software either.
The pattern is, or at least the repeatable problem at present is as described - I have two V7 rhinos already open , but when I go to open a third, the screen shot shows what happens.
The popup wont take no for an answer - presents itself on top of all other running programs, and it takes three presses on the close top right X button before it exits, saying “rhino will now close” (not that it ever opened…
Well, I shut down the computer and restarted.
Upon going to open V7 it immediately popped this dialog box up again; I went through the whole licensing process again, entered the key, and received a successful validation notice, and all appears fine again…
Except not, since we don’t know what happened, and it may happen again at any time…
You’ll be the first to know…
