How do I instruct Hython to only use the Engine license?

You can run hython with commandline options:

hython --check-licenses="Houdini-Engine" --skip-licenses="Houdini-Escape,Houdini-Master"

You can also set an environment variable in the houdini.env file:

HOUDINI_HYTHON_LIC_OPT="--check-licenses=Houdini-Engine --skip-licenses=Houdini-Escape,Houdini-Master"

This should set hython to use only the Engine license and not use an interactive license of Houdini (FX or Core).
