Hello,

when trying to start Houdini FX I get the message that the license server is not running. The sesinetd log file looks as follows:

18:00:40 01/30/15 sesinetd: log file reset
0d16008d: Generic Houdini-Master 13.0 1/1 free

18:03:54 01/30/15 sesinetd: (14093): Caught signal 15 and exiting

IP: 0.0.0.0 looks definitely wrong.

Thank you,

Steffen.

Do you have a valid hostname?

Thanks for the quick answer Edward!

My hostname has been like this for years, not sure if it is a ‘valid’ one…
Steffens-MacBook-Pro-3:~ weissman$ hostname
Steffens-MacBook-Pro-3.local

I'm not sure. Yosemite was released after H13. Maybe H14 is better?
