Programs are too smart now a days so there is a simple answer to that, you can't - unless you format and make a new installation of Rhino on a clean system. Or find a pirated version and install that, or install virtual PC and take a copy of the files and "copy back over" when Rhino expires.

I am sure you can buy directly from McNeel if they don't have a dealer there :-) or you can become the first dealer!

Pavel915, using Virtual PC to get around limitations in demo software is not nice, OK? But it works.

You will have to install the bonus tools to be able to share your harddisk with the virtual harddisk.
Virtual PC requires minimum 2-3 gig of harddisk space and 512 Mb RAM (256 Mb to the operating system and 256 to Virtual PC, don't start up anything before you start virtual PC if you have less than that). Virtual PC likes to crash when you use Windows Explorer, it seems to help if you work slowly when you click around

If you have Rhino, then I would have a serious look at RhinoMarine for the stability calculations, it's pretty good. OK, I would prefer to do the actual hull in Maxsurf but Rhino is better for interiors etc.

So Virtual PC is an emulator from microsoft to emulate a microsoft product on a microsoft product. I didn't think they'd dropped enough backward compatibility to bother.

I thought Virtal PC was for Mac?

That's not what it says on the link that snakefeet provided

Too much microsoft in one sentence, please, my ears ache

True story: My daughter got sick with a virus that sent her to hospital twice about 3 weeks ago, dehydrated from not being able to keep fluids. That's when I came to think about microsoft as a virus, does the same to people.

Hi Pavel,
If you are looking to purchase Rhino and can't find a local dealer, send an email to Wendy Hemmelman (wendy@mcneel.com). She can either help you find a local dealer or sell Rhino directly through our Seattle office.
Thanks,
-Steve
