I'm starting some projecting in Houdini Apprentice, and had a pretty simple question that I wasn't sure of. If I upgrade to Indie at some point, or start using a studio that provides a paid license tier, can I continue my work in that version? Or is my save locked to the Apprentice version.

Thanks!

Edit:
Looks like you can't, I'm assuming the same goes for FX tier as well?

Pretty sure they still do this - at least they were when I moved from apprentice to Indie 2 years ago.

After the upgrade I believe support will give you a link that allows you to do a one time conversion of your files from nc to lc.

If you want to know for sure just send a message to support to ask.

I upgraded from Apprentice to Indie, what happens is if you open a project/file created under Apprentice and open it in Indie, you'll get a notice that you are now running Houdini in non-commercial and it will stay that way until your restart Houdini.

Awesome! That is much better news then I had hoped.
