Sharing licenses with remote offices

• Local Access Licenses serve across two remote offices up to 100km in distance.
• Global Access Licenses serve more than 100km.
• Workstation licenses can not be shared as they are tied to the machine installed to.
• Please speak with your sales representative if you need to move a license to a remote office.

Transferring ownership of licenses

• License ownership may not be transferred to another company or individual.
• You are allowed to transfer a license to a different machine on your network. You may do this 10 times a year unless it's a GAL license.

Are licenses operating system dependent?

• No. Houdini licenses are operating system independent.

When does my (term based) license expire?

• Licenses expire one minute before midnight your local time on the date of expiry.
• For example, If your license says that it expires June 30th, it will expire at 11:59pm June 30th your license server's local time.

Can I use 2 computers for my workstation license?

• No. You may use 1 workstation license per computer. *If you would like to run Houdini on 2 computers, you will either need to purchase a floating license or 2 workstation licenses – 1 per computer.

Our licenses are set to expire before the expiry date on the invoice. Why?

• Temporary licenses are issued until payment has been received.
• Once accounting verifies payment, extensions will be issued to those licenses.
• If you have any questions, please contact your account manager or sales@sidefx.com.
