I thought about trying Houdini on a Linux system - so i installed Mint on an USB3 HDrive yesterday and was wondering if i can install an apprentice license and then connect the drive to different workstations without reinstalling the license everytime…
best regards

Ohhh my maintrainingworkstation is at home with windows and its running fine. But I have read a lot about better memory management and render times on linux. So I thought I give it a try. And while we are at work dont do fx and 3d, I really would like to use the machine there and at home. Having all my stuff on a portable drive, seems to be a good option.
And the best case would be, not to worry about relicensing every time i plug the drive on a different Workstation or computer.

Seems that i did not express my self correctly.
I have one Linux Mint on an transportable drive, where I would like to put the apprentice on.
So if I am correct, everytime I plug that drive in my or somebodys workstation the licensemanager checks the config and finds a missmatch, knows that it is a different computer and renews the license.
Therefore i thought there is a way to bind the license to the usb drive or something.
I know its not a big deal for me to recreate the license at every start, but I hoped there is an other solution.

If you're plugging it into the same machine every time, I wouldn't expect it to find a configuration mismatch. Try saving out the license diagnostics and comparing them whenever it renews the license. Launch the “License Administrator” (aka “hkey”), and do View > Diagnostic.
