  1. 1 Introduction

1.2 Licenses

In addition to the EDU student license and the LAB university license, which are for non-commercial use only, there is also a PRO version of Karamba3D available for commercial use.

PRO, EDU & LAB licenses can be purchased from our website. Further information can be found on features & license agreement.

Activating Licenses

Licenses can be installed as:

  1. Cloud licenses: these require a Cloud Zoo account and allows you to use them from any device and/or share them with team members. Find out more on Cloud Zoo Licenses on McNeel.

  2. Network licenses (PRO or LAB users only): also known as LAN Zoo; keeps your licenses on your private LAN server and lets you share them among the Rhino users on your network. Find out more on LAN Licenses on McNeel.
