I am running houdini apprentice 8.1 with ubuntu dapper on Dell GX 620 using ATI proprietary video driver(fglrx). the license administrator(hkey) exited the x window and logged me out when I tried to change the name of the license server. Then I tried ubuntu radeon driver, the result is the same.

Anyone experienced this problem? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.

We have Houdini V7, V8 installed on the same workstation.
I (as non-root user) can sesictrl -I key_info with V7, but not with V8.
The permission has not been changed and any user can write
to the log/licenses folder.

V7 does not require /usr/lib/sesi/licenses needed for V8,
only root can create /usr/lib/sesi/licenses with sesictrl -I key_info.

The error I got is
Server bobcat Access denied for operation
Error with operation

Any help is appreciated.
