Hi all,
I have been trying to access Rhino 7 as I recently purchased an upgrade license. However, I have not managed to login in as I keep getting this error “Data protection Failed” when trying to login to my account via browser!
Any solutions?
@Brian @pascal I am quite desperate to run Rhino but still to no avail!
I have send an email to tech@mcneel as well.
any help will be greatly appreciate it!
What is your Mac OS?
Does this have something to do with Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > Click the Allow
Files and Folders Allow Rhino.
It is MacOS Monterey v 12.0.1
in regards to Security and privacy; no, since the software is installed on the machine. the problem I think is do with rhino 7 not obtaining CloudZoo licence. see image bellow
Can you please install the latest release candidate of Rhino 7.15 and see if the error message is different? We’re trying to track this problem down now.
You’ll probably still get an error, but it should help us better understand the problem.
Many thanks for your reply @Brian - I went ahead and downloaded 7.15 but still the same error. however, this time I am getting a more in depth error diagnoses.

Looks like this is being tracked in:

The only workaround we know of at the moment is to switch away from using your account and assign your license locally.
To do that, click Cancel, and then follow the steps through adding your license key again, but follow the path through “Lock to this computer”
‘/Users/serwan/.config/.mono/keypairs’ is denied.
does this directory exist and does Rhino have permissions to read/write to it?
@serwan, if you can please open Terminal.app and run the following commands (hit enter after each one).
ls -la ~/.config
ls -la ~/.config/.mono
ls -la ~/.config/.mono/keypairs
Copy and paste the output here, or take a screenshot.
Thanks @Brian - if I do that, would I be able to revert it back to cloud zoo later? as I have rhino on bootcamp as well?
Hi @will - this is the output:
serwan@Serwans-MacBook-Pro ~ % ls -la ~/.config

ls: /Users/serwan/.config: Permission denied
serwan@Serwans-MacBook-Pro ~ % ls -la ~/.config/.mono

Hi Travis, that path does not exist
Thank you, @serwan! This is the closest we’ve been to understanding the cause of this bug.
I have one more command that I’d like to see the output for, if you don’t mind.
sudo ls -la ~/.config
The sudo will elevate the command, so that ls can read the directory as the “root” user. This should tell us what the permissions are on the directory. Once I know this, I can help you to fix the problem that’s preventing Cloud Zoo from working on your machine.
Yes, absolutely.
Many thanks Will,
this is the output for for the command:
Last login: Sun Jan 16 10:05:10 on ttys000
serwan@Serwans-MacBook-Pro ~ % sudo ls -la ~/.config
Password:

drwx------ 3 root staff 96 29 Dec 2020 .

drwx------ 3 root staff 96 13 Mar 2021 configstore
serwan@Serwans-MacBook-Pro ~ %
Could you please advice what the process looks like in regards to reverting the licence from the machine to cloud zoo?
Thanks!
Alright, let’s fix it… The ~/.config directory should be owned by your user, not root.
sudo chown -v serwan:staff ~/.config
Now try starting Rhino again and logging in.
you are a star Will, this actually solved the problem.
Many thank everyone for your great help! really appreciate it

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know. I appreciate you helping us to understand this problem better.
Hi I use Windows 10 and ran into the same issue (error relating to System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException ) posting here so that others who find this may have success with this solution.
-
Open Registry Editor, Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers
-
navigate into the folder located within providers.
-
Add dWORD 32b entry called “ProtectionPolicy” Value = 1 Type = Hexidecimal
-
Restart PC and run Rhino 7
