So I bought a license in 2021 for Rhino 6. I never bothered to upgrade until my class required me to update my software. I used the same license key that I received when I first bought the software back in 2021. The license key was for Rhino 6. Now that I have decided to upgrade to Rhino 8. My license for rhino 6 doesn’t work on rhino 8.
I have been having trouble upgrading my license to Rhino 8. Someone told me, I was supposed to receive an email with a license key for Rhino 8 but I never received anything. What should I do? By a new license to operate Rhino 8 on my Windows laptop. I only received one license key when I bought a student license for $200 dollars from the Rhino website
If the “buy” you are talking about is the Rhino V6 license, what you are experiencing is normal. A Rhino 6 license does not run Rhino 8 and there is no automatic free upgrade.
Who told you that?
Most likely you will need to buy a V8 educational upgrade, they are $95 (plus local taxes if any). Your paid V6 license is valid for the upgrade. If you have already bought the V8 upgrade, contact whomever you bought it from.
