Rhinoceros 5 Evaluation

What is Rhinoceros 5 Evaluation?  (from Robert McNeel & Associates)

The Rhino 5 development process started more than five years ago with one overriding goal—to remove as many of your workflow bottlenecks as possible. That meant making Rhino faster and able to handle much larger models and project teams, in addition to making thousands of large and small improvements.

Overview

Rhinoceros 5 Evaluation is a software program developed by Robert McNeel & Associates. The most common release is 5.4.30524.11065, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 78 files. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows XP. While about 40% of users of Rhinoceros 5 Evaluation come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Brazil.
