I allowed my Houdini Master Apprentice to expire, then re-authorized.
As if by magic, the troubles have disappeared.
Previously, when I entered into the two week countdown to expiration, Houdini just started misbehaving. Mantra would not launch, constant crashes using common tools. Now all these problems have disappeared, Houdini is behaving as per tutotials and PDF docs, apparently, becouse I got fresh codes. Can anyone shed light on this phenomah.
