Houdini Main Changelogs

18.5.253

Fixed a bug that Houdini crashed when using multiple Mantra IPR windows at the same time.

Wed. June 24, 2020
18.5.246

Use the most current license information when logging peak usage. Prior to this change the original license information was logged which is very confusing for customers with very old licenses (i.e. houdini 14 licenses).

Wed. June 17, 2020
18.5.232

Make login licensing easier to use/setup from hkey.

Wed. June 3, 2020
18.5.217

Fixed an issue where error dialogs would show for missing tokens when generating some license meta data in houdini.

Tue. May 19, 2020
18.5.209

Previously, some OSX users might encounter the SSL error in hkey, sesictrl and etc, because their SSL certificates in /etc/ssl/cert.pem were expired. Fixed this issue by using the SSL certifactes in OSX's Keychain, so they no longer need to manually update /etc/ssl/cert.pem files.

Mon. May 11, 2020
18.5.205

18.0 License Servers do not properly handle some http commands and as such http is now off by default in hserver and can be enabled with -C on the command line or enableHttp 1 in the options file.

Thu. May 7, 2020
18.5.204

Http is now on by default for hserver. This can be partially turned off with -C on the command line or 'enableHttp 0' in the options file.

Wed. May 6, 2020
18.5.203

Fixed bug that caused the stat line when running `sesictrl print-license` to not show up in some cases.

Tue. May 5, 2020
18.5.197

Removed support for standalone mode on Windows platforms.

Wed. April 29, 2020
18.5.191

Fixed the issue that render failed in Houdini Education if there were no Houdini Apprentice/FX licenses installed.

Thu. April 23, 2020
18.5.190

Fixes issue parsing invalid http requests causing hserver and sesinetd to consume significant CPU.

Wed. April 22, 2020
18.5.184

Added more precautions to ensure that multiple workstattion licenses can't accidentally be installed to the same machine by setting the default selected quantity to 0 if the selected license entitlement is duplicated with installed licenses or with other license entitlements that are redeeming together.

Added Server Code Error message to 'sesictrl print-server' and Diagnostic Information to reveal the issue of finding MAC addresses.

Thu. April 16, 2020
18.5.176

Fixes bug that under the correct circumstances would allow for multiple hservers to run.

Wed. April 8, 2020
18.5.161

Fixes bug that disallowed redeeming licenses while in chaining configuration.

Tue. March 24, 2020
18.5.157

When hserver and sesinetd are in debug mode the elapsed time for the request is also logged.

Fri. March 20, 2020
18.5.157

Fixes a bug where hserver could get into a state where it thinks the current connection list is invalid and was unable to get out of it. This caused any command from hserver to fail before it gets to sesinetd.

Fri. March 20, 2020
18.5.153

Added the ability to summarize the current license list by product in sesictrl.

Mon. March 16, 2020
18.5.153

Added further details to curl related errors when we know the likely cause of that error. For example, the remote servers version is not high enough to understand HTTP(S) communication.

Mon. March 16, 2020
18.5.153

When grabbing the ip address of the local machine try and find the non-loopback address. This fixes the access denied errors when performing network related tasks (i.e. installing a license).

Mon. March 16, 2020
18.5.149

Updates hkey warnings to make it more clear as to what they are about. The write access warning in the status bar was also removed as it is really only necessary for users that need to modify the server.

Thu. March 12, 2020
18.5.146

Fixes bug that caused some users to not be able to redeem entitlements from sesictrl.

Mon. March 9, 2020
18.5.146

Adds error message when hserver receives a client but the underlying socket is found to be invalid.

Mon. March 9, 2020
18.5.146

Fixes bug where hserver option file used different formats for different option types. Integer and boolean options can now be of the form 'variable-name = value' or 'variable-name value'.

Mon. March 9, 2020
18.5.141

Adds extra verification steps to parsing an http request as it was possible to get into a bad state which could cause the servers to spin up to 100% and never come back down.

Wed. March 4, 2020
18.5.129

Added total in use licenses for each installed license when viewing the text list of all installed licenses for a license server.

Fri. February 21, 2020
