Temporarily for Houdini 11.0, you need to manually install your Apprentice licenses.
First obtain an Apprentice license from here. http://license.sidefx.com/get_nc_license.php [license.sidefx.com]
Then follow the instructions from here. http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1208&Itemid=273#install-manual [sidefx.com]

I followed the instructions. In the Houdini License Administrator, under server information I have all green checks. The installed licenses shows just the Render-NonCommerical 11.0. I don't recall if it's supposed to show the server license.
Anyway, when I run Houdini, the “This software requires a license” box comes up.
Anybody else with this issue and/or a way to resolve?
Windows XP Pro, core2 laptop, basic laptop…version 10 ran with no problem. Thanks.

I can't seem to get a proper server license (Windows 7 64 bit Lenovo Y560 laptop with Corei7, ATI 5730 GPU)- although H10 Apprentice worked fine before this:
I get this message after following all of your directions (three times and three reboots):
Key 1:
ERROR: Key installation failed for LenovoLaptop
Please ensure that the server code and signature of the SERVER key for
LenovoLaptop are correct
I entered the stuff as seen in the License Administrator into the page to get a key.
Also hkey.exe for H11 seems problematic to me- I can't exit out of it without the Windows window coming up and telling me it isn't responding and that I have to kill it. The hkey.exe for H10 seems fine.
Any ideas?

arctor
there should be three (3)
I see what I did wrong now, thanks to your comment.
The choices given….
Houdini Master (Non-Commercial)
Houdini Escape (Non-Commercial)
Renderer (Non-Commercial)
For whatever reason, I thought Renderer was the option to pick instead of Houdini Master, hence why it gave me the error. Thanks again.

Hello forum,
I have installed the latest version; Houdini 11.0.446.9 (Apprentice),
when the program asked me to install the Free Houdini Apprentice License, I said yes and it came up with a message that was successfully installed.
But when ever I run Houdini, repeats the same process.
I tried to do it manually as well but nothing changed.
Do you have any idea what can be?

In the past day I have had difficulty getthing Houdini11 Apprentice HD to run on my Lenovo T61p with fx570m video card intalled with Windows7 64bit.
First I was having the problem with the repeating license screen appearing and never getting Houdini to launch. After updating to the latest windows patches I started to get a application crash when launching Houdini11 Apprentice. The last part of the crash log located in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\crashlog_<username> looked like the following:
+0x7058376f
+0x7058389f
+0x70583998
+0x70562330
+0x7150b84f
+0x7150be0f
+0x4000c02c
+0x76c0f56d
+0x76e43281 [RtlUserThreadStart
What I ended up doing to solve this problem was go to the properties on the Houdini icon and select the compatibility tab. Select the “Run this program in compatibiltiy mode for:” checkbox. In the pull down list I selected "Windows Vista(Services Pack 2).
After this I was able to get Houdini to launch. I have created some simple simulations with no problems.

Here is the complete crash log that is created when I run Houdini11 Apprentice without the “Run this program in compatabilty mode” option selected. This problem is very reproducable on my system as soon as I enable the compatibility mode then all is well. Hope this helps find the problem.

Same problem appearing on my friends computer aswell. If it helps both are on windows 7 64-bit
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated
Thanks for your time
