Rhino is now in BETA! Get your copy now !
What is BETA? We’re not adding any new features, nor are we making significant changes to the UI. We’re also done breaking the APIs, so plug-ins written for this Beta will work in the commercial release of Rhino 6.
For the next few builds, we’ll be wrapping up documentation, localization, and working with our third-party developers to get their plug-ins ported to Rhino 6.

It doesn’t work here… not even a splash screen.@brian something you’re aware of?
Loaded and works for me with no problems - same as previous WIP versions.
I have got an invitation to rhino 6. I would like to test it. But it does not accept my Rhino 5 License. And it does not find my License in the Rhino account online. I can not even enter it. Because the system only accepts Rhino6 Licenses. Any help?

Same situation here. This need some attention.
Congratulations to all of you McNeel 3D nerds. I’ll be testing it regularly now.

That’s a bizarre question to ask on the official newsgroup. Also a bit funny, since if you have to go through IT to install anything on your work computer, a crack isn’t going to solve that. So you should get friendly with them.

When you downloaded you should have received an email that said “Welcome to Rhino BETA”. In it is a link to get your license key - does that work?

Hi,
If I have an educational license can I download Rhino 6? If so what’s the process, since the serial number has a different format.
Thank you,

Did you try putting your Rhino 5 license key (not serial number) in the appropriate field on this page?https://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino-for-windows/beta

It works in safe mode though… and when started as an administrator.
@brian something you’re aware of?
Can you please try repairing the installation from control panel? This sounds really strange.

Works for me! Looks great.
Where do I post a problem? My Macros aren’t working same as in v5. Brought in a Toolbar. Buttons look different (some don’t have my custom button-thumbnail) and more importantly, the macros aren’t working. Same exact verbage in both macro buttons.
Here’s one that works in v5 but not v6
