How do I access Rhino 3D?

You will need the GlobalProtect client to be installed and access granted to run Rhino 3D outside of the university network. For more information or to request access please view What is GlobalProtect? knowledge base article.
Once you have installed Rhino 3D from one of the methods above, you can launch the application from your Start menu (Windows) or Launchpad (Mac), the application will connect to your license server and you will be able to use it.
If installed from one of the methods above, you should not have to setup a license. But if for some reason the application does ask you for a license, agree to the terms and conditions, select Options and then select the Use Lan Zoo option and enter VMWAS22.winad.msudenver.edu as the server address. As long as your computer is connected to the campus network hard wired or using GlobalProtect from home or on campus WiFi, this should connect you to the license server and allow the application to run.
If you require assistance using the application, please contact your instructor, department tutor, or supervisor for help.
If you experience trouble installing the application, you receive license errors, or you feel it is not running correctly, please submit a Software Issues & Errors request.
