Price includes 20% UK VAT.
This academic licence gives you Rhino 8, the current and fully supported version, along with legacy access to install and run Rhino 7 — for students, educators, and academic staff who need to stay on the older version occasionally for specific coursework or plug-in compatibility.
It carries the exact same commercial feature set as a standard licence, at the reduced academic price, and gives departments teaching with Rhino 7 workflows a straightforward path to Rhino 8 without losing access to older course materials.
Plugin compatibility? A Rhino 8 licence includes access keys for Rhino 6, 7, and 8 — so if a plugin you rely on hasn't been updated for Rhino 8 yet, you can keep running it in Rhino 6 or 7 while your Rhino 8 key waits ready. When the plugin catches up, you simply switch across with nothing further to buy.
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
Why would I choose this over the standard V8 academic licence?
If a specific plugin, coursework, or workflow means you still need Rhino 7 occasionally, this gives you both versions under one licence.
Can I use this for commercial work?
Yes. Educational licences have the same features and functionality as the commercial version and can be used for commercial activities. The only difference is that they can't be sold, shared, or transferred to another user.
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.
Current Rhino 8 licence holders also get free access to the Rhino 9 public beta — download and test new features alongside your production Rhino 8 install.
