Place the Karamba3D "License"-component on the grasshopper canvas and connect it to a Panel component. The Panel should read out the details of the License.
Upon successful installation of the license you should be able to open example files which have more than 20 beam elements or 50 shell elements. Double check if the license and correct Karamba3D version are installed by opening the below definition:
This error when there is a conflict with an old license on your machine. Simply navigate to the License folder of your Karamba3D installation folder: typically "C:\Program Files\Rhino 7\Plug-ins\Karamba" or "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\7.0".
Find the "license.lic" file and delete it.
Restart Rhino and run "Karamba3DGetLicense" to activate your license.
This can be simply done by logging into your Rhino3D Account. Navigate to your installed license (most likely found in "Personal Licenses"). Click on the Karamba3D license. Then you can simply click "Remove from Cloud Zoo"
Now you can add your license to a new Rhino3D account using the same license key your received.
At times when a license is in use, or invalid, then the license cannot be removed from the Zoo Administrator. A pop up appears saying that "The License XXXX could not be deleted because it is in use."
If the license is in use, then select that specific license instance, go to Edit > Recover. The license should be then marked as available and you can hopefully delete it.
If the license still cannot be removed, then you will need to delete it manually in Windows Explorer.
Stop the Zoo Administrator
Go to %allusersprofile%\McNeel\Zoo or C:\ProgramData\McNeel\Zoo and navigate to your subsequent Zoo version.
In the Licenses folder, there are various *.cluster files. These are the licenses in your Zoo Administrator. Unfortunately there is no method to identify which license belongs to which software. Therefore make sure that you have records of all existing license keys in your Zoo Administrator. Delete all *.cluster files and then start the Zoo Administrator. All licenses will be removed and you can now add all your licenses new.
Karamba3D does not require Rhino to be running with a Zoo License for it to run on the Zoo Server. However if Rhino is running on the Network Server, then Karamba3D needs to run from the same license server.
Karamba3D does not require Rhino to be running with a Zoo Cloud License for it to run on the Cloud. However if Rhino is running on the Zoo Cloud, then Karamba3D needs to run from the same license account or team.
