If you do not have an Internet connection, or prefer to activate over the phone or via email, please follow the steps described below. You will need to provide us with your License Code (given to you when you purchased your Orca3D license), and an Installation ID, which uniquely identifies the computer where you have installed the software.

 

1. Start the License Manager utility by selecting "Activate" at startup, or by clicking on the Windows START button and navigating to the Orca3D folder, then clicking on the License Manager Utility. The License Manager Utility may also be started from the Orca menu, but note that any changes made to your license will not be effective until you close and re-start Rhino.

Select "Phone/Email License."

Your Installation ID will be displayed. You can now call or email us with the following information:

 

We will provide you with a simple 16 digit Unlocking Key; you just input this into the unlocking key field and then click “Install License”.

If you are getting the number by phone and typing it in by hand, you may separate the Unlocking Key into 4 groups of 4 digits each, separated by either a space or a – or just enter in the number as one long string of digits. Then click the Install License button. If you receive it by email, the easiest thing to do is to copy and paste it.

NOTE:  You will be notified if you enter an invalid Unlocking Key and the Installation ID will immediately change afterwards.

 

Please note the change of “STATUS” showing the product as Licensed - A useful reference point. You may also check the status of your Orca3D license by selecting About from the Orca3D menu in Rhino.
