+==== 4. Legacy Toolbar Files from Rhino 5 ====
+The Toolbar file format .TB can not be imported directly into Rhino 8.
+It is a legacy format that is no longer supported by Rhino 8 or newer versions.
+As a workaround, if you have Rhino 6 or 7 for Windows, you can import the Toolbar and save as a RUI.
+This is located in Options -> Toolbars -> File.

+If you //do not// have **Rhino for Windows versions 6 or 7** and you have Rhino 8, you can download a **legacy key** [[https://www.rhino3d.com/support/|here]] and install Rhino 6 or 7. Download Rhino from Archives [[https://www.rhino3d.com/support/|here]].
+However, if you have one or two .TB files that you need saved as .RUI files, email //tech@mcneel.com// and attach the files.  We are happy to help.
