Is anyone else experiencing issues installing 17.5?

I have selected to uninstall previous version and to install Apprentice licensing.

During the install I get the following pop up (see attached). Nothing can be done on this screen. I have to close it… when I start 17.5 it says license is not installed.

Apprentice licensing uses a local licensing. Did you check the Local Licensing box when you were installing?

Hidey ho! Contact support@sidefx.com if you're having license or install issues and they can help you out.

Also, there's this FAQ for common licensing issues https://www.sidefx.com/faq/ [www.sidefx.com]

You don't need to use local licensing for Apprentice. Default installs are fine.

Thanks everyone. Stopping the server and running Houdini first time as admin solved the problem!
