Rhino 8 launch details
CONFUSED? There has been much confusion about what we expect of you prior to the “public announcement.”
Please do NOT broadcast to the public any Rhino 8
announcements via email, social media, or press releases until the
announcement date, 28-Nov-2023.
You are welcome to update your website and online order processing.
Plus, discuss Rhino 8 with your customers one-on-one, especially if they
are in the purchasing process.
And, you can process
Rhino 8 orders.
If you have any questions, post them on the
Rhino Reseller discussion
forum.
Do not ignore these details:
-
Launch
Schedule.
-
Prices and promotion.
- No change to reseller discounts.
- No free upgrades to Rhino 8, no matter when someone
purchased Rhino 7 or a Rhino 7 Upgrade.
- Old inventory can be swapped or returned for
a credit.
- Rhino 8 reseller NFR licenses are
available. Contact your regional office.
(Not-For-Resale
licenses are for internal use only.)
Important things you need to know:
-
System requirements. Review the
Not
Supported details.
- Rhino 8 license keys will work on both Windows
and Mac.
- Customers who purchase full Rhino 8 (R80 and R80-E) will have access
to a previous version legacy key. Details…
-
LAN Zoo 8 is required to support
Rhino 8 licenses.
- The Cloud Zoo and Rhino
Accounts support Rhino 8 licenses.
- Current Bongo licenses work in
Rhino 8. No stock swap is needed.
- Most Rhino 7 plugins work
in Rhino 8.
If not, let their developer know. Likely, only
minor changes are needed.
- Flamingo, Penguin,
and Brazil are
discontinued and will NOT run in Rhino 8. Rhino 8 includes most of those rendering tools and many more.
Again, if you have any questions, post them on the
Rhino Reseller discussion
forum.
