The Houdini-Engine-Indie license is a 2-part license consisting of:

• Houdini Engine Indie
• Render (Non-Commercial)

All need to be installed on the same machine.

The Houdini-Engine-Indie is a non-graphical version of Houdini-Indie. It allows you to run command-line renders, and simulations, on remote render machines. And to open pre-made Houdini Digital Assets (HDAs) within Maya, Unreal, Unity and C4D. You make best use of your Houdini-Engine-Indie license if it is installed on a different machine than your Houdini-Indie license.
