## Activating Licenses

Licenses can be installed as:

1. [Cloud licenses](https://manual-1-3.karamba3d.com/1-introduction/1.2-licenses/1.2.1-cloud-licenses): these require a Cloud Zoo account and allows you to use them from any device and/or share them with team members. Find out more on [Cloud Zoo Licenses](https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino_accounts/home) on McNeel.
2. [Network licenses](https://manual-1-3.karamba3d.com/1-introduction/1.2-licenses/1.2.2-network-licenses) (PRO or LAB users only): also known as LAN Zoo; keeps your licenses on your private LAN server and lets you share them among the Rhino users on your network.
