What kinda of License I need to run Hython? Mantra or Houdini License?
I'm setting up a Hqueue farm with a node-locked license. But it fails to render with Hqueue. I pin point the problem to hython, it complains:
No licenses could be found to run this application.
Please check for a valid license server host

But I can render ifds with Mantra command line.

Does anybody have any clues?
Do I need a float license to use Hqueue? Or even hbatch licenses?

Cheers

I don't speak for Side FX, but I think generally you want Houdini Engine, formerly ‘batch,’ licenses. A floating interactive license will also work, but you probably don't want that being tied up by your nodes. I suppose a node-locked license can work, but it would need to be locked to the farm box that hython was ran on, again something you probably don't want to waste the cost of a full artist seat on.

I found out what is the problem.
I can't use hython. I need to set set in the Hqueue Render node “Assign IFD Job To” and pick the computer holding the license server and the other machines will render with mantra.

Thanks jsmack!
