The Rhino 3D V8 Upgrade is designed for existing owners of a previous Rhino commercial licence, from V1 through V7, who want to move up to the latest release without paying full price for a new licence. Rhino 8 brings faster performance, expanded SubD modelling, and a wealth of workflow improvements over earlier versions, all while keeping the same reliable NURBS modelling core you already know.
This upgrade path is significantly cheaper than a new licence and is fully supported by the CADWAX team throughout activation.
Key features
- Full NURBS, mesh, and SubD toolset
- Grasshopper included at no extra cost
- Import/export for all major 3D formats
- Runs on Windows and Mac

Frequently asked questions
Do I need my original licence details to upgrade?
Yes, your existing Rhino serial number or account details, so McNeel can verify eligibility.
Can I still use my previous version after upgrading?
Yes — upgrading doesn't remove your ability to install and run your prior version if you still need it.
What if I don't have my old licence details to hand?
Contact our team and we'll help you locate them.
Do you offer training?
Yes — Rhino Level 1 and Level 2 training is available with any Rhino product or plugin purchase, consisting of a guide manual and email support you can work through in your own time. Contact our team for details.
Can our team share licences?
Yes — commercial upgrade licences work the same way as full licences: they can be pooled in a Cloud Zoo Team and float between team members. A licence is checked out when Rhino opens and returns to the pool when it closes, so you only need enough licences for your peak simultaneous users. See our floating licences guide for the maths.
