Hey all,

I've been trying to configure our Houdini install to allow users to switch back and forth between our limited H10 licensing and H12 apprentice licensing.

I've yet to discover a reproducible way to do this properly, however my SESI kung fu is now quite dated and has faded with memory. I'm hoping this has become easier over the years, as the last time I attempted this I had to manually do this per user.

If you have any insight please let me know, I'll continue to search and research the SESI documentation I can find to help me.

Thanks!

Hey,

Are you on Linux or Windows? It's pretty easy but somewhat different on the platforms.

Cheers,

Linux.

Cool.

So, copy $HFS/houdini/Licensing.opt to (let's say) $HOME/houdini12.5

Edit it to use Apprentice licensing (help is inside the file)

Then make a script that renames it to Licensing.opt.apprentice or something. So when it's found in the HOUDINI_PATH you'll get apprentice, otherwise you get commercial.

Cheers,

Peter B
