The Houdini License Server.

Overview

Sesinetd is the program name for the Houdini License Server. This is different then the helper program that runs on client machines (hserver). The Houdini License Server runs in the background of your machine or central license server and helps manage your Houdini licenses. It serves Houdini licenses to local or remote client machines.

Requirements

• Must be in the running state for any Houdini products to open, including Apprentice.
• By default listens on TCP port 1715. This may be changed.

Additional Information

• The client License Administrator (hkey) or non-graphical sesictrl will connect to sesinetd for license information or administration.
• Please refer to this page for the location of sesinetd.

Configuration

To control the behaviour of the license server daemon (sesinetd), there is a control file called sesinetd.options that may be configured.
