All of the nodes must be in the same network. The Zoo will run on any system in a network. When a node shuts down, the license is added back to the available license pool.

If the number of available keys has not been exceeded, the Zoo assigns a key to the workstation, and the number of available licenses is reduced by one. When a Rhino network node starts, a request for a license key is sent to the Zoo. Network nodes obtain license keys at run time from the Zoo, unlike standalone Rhino, which requires that a license key be entered on each system. To script the installation process and allow more efficient use of Rhino licenses, network administrators now have the option of installing Rhino as a network node. Manages assignment of Rhino licenses among members of a network.
