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 modelling in one toolset
- Grasshopper visual scripting included as standard
- Native support for import/export across almost all major 3D formats
- Cross-platform: works on both 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?
