I purchased Houdini Indie back in January to be run on my M1 Mac Studio and M2 Macbook Pro. At first, everything seemed fine. But I quickly discovered that SideFx's licensing system stops working properly and I get locked out of Houdini. this has happened 5 times. I've gotten with SideFX customer service and they've got me back up and running. But soon there after, it breaks again.

Has anyone else experienced this on Mac? I've got more tickets into SideFx to try to get my issues resolved. So I'm curious what others are experiencing.

Is the hostname of your computer changing?

I don't believe it is. As it turned out, I upgraded to Houdini 20.5.522 and Houdini would crash. I had to go in and delete the houdini folder in my library/prefrences folder and let it reconstruct it from scratch. Just having that folder in the my directory caused the crash. Seems like a bug to me. You're technical service guys found the issue so its likely it has been reported.
