Why do I have the error "You may not combine FX/Core Local Access Licenses (LALs) and Global Access Licenses (GALs) on the same server"?

The mixing of different floating license types (LAL and GAL) for FX or Core is not permitted on the same server.

This is because you may inadvertently share LAL licenses to remote studio locations that should be using GAL, thus breaking the license use policy.

Houdini doesn't verify if the floating license is Local Access (LAL) or Global Access (GAL).
It will use any floating license available for the appropriate product.

You must host Local Access Licenses (LALs) and Global Access Licenses (GALs) on separate servers.
