Houdini 21.0 Installation and Licensing User Authentication

API Key Credentials

API key credentials are a perfect solution for setups where user intervention is not ideal such as farm machines.

Create API Keys

  1. Open hkey and navigate to your desired license server.

  2. Login to your superuser account or another account that has permissions to create api keys.

  3. Press “Create New Api Key”

  4. Input a name to make it easier to view later.

  5. Copy your client id and client credentials to input them into hserver later.

  6. Add your API key to hserver.ini. The syntax is APIKey=<servername> <client id> <client secret>. When you copy the credentials from hkey it should already be in the correct format.
