As the title says. I emailed customer support but I'd really like to spend the day today working ASAP so hopefully I can get some faster help here. After I installed the Indie license fine on the License Administrator, is there something else I need to do in order to start working with Houdini Indie? Thanks muchly.

are you on Windows?
is so check to be sure you are launching Houdini with the right shortcut - RMB on the shortcut and select Properties - be sure that it is pointing to hindie.exe.

That worked! Thanks very much.
Now, it seems I cant load the file I was creating in Apprentice into Indie… I probably should have looked into this sooner before doing all that work, but am I not able to load up all that work with the Indie license now?

Edit: Sorry, I can but it goes into “non-commercial mode.”
