Zoo server using Dropbox

Hi - we have 2 PCs which both connect to the same internet connection and we share files between the machines using Dropbox. We would like to run Rhino on both machines, but sharing 1 license using the zoo. Is this possible with our current connectivity setup? Thanks.

Hi Emma-Kate,

If you have more users of Rhino than you have licenses of Rhino, then you can share your licenses among users on your network using the Zoo.

It is not possible to share Rhino licenses using DropBox.

Thank you Dale - that’s helpful to know.

I’m not a Zoo user, but just out of curiosity: In a two computer network like the OP’s, is it possible to run the Zoo on one of the computers which itself might be used to run Rhino?

Yes.
