I'm trying to get a docker image with a Houdini Engine application running. I've set everything up, Houdini is installed, but when the app runs I get this error:

HAPI Error: No Valid Licenses Found - HAPI_LICENSE_MODE unset or is set to 'default' meaning Houdini Engine will first try to acquire a Houdini Engine license and if one is not found it will try to acquire an interactive Houdini license (Houdini Core then Houdini FX). - No Houdini Engine license found. - No Houdini license. - No Houdini FX license found. - No Houdini Engine Indie license found. - No Houdini Indie license.
Our company has a license server and I've tried to set it up correctly but it never seems to work. Things I've tried:

  • Making sure to start hserver manually when the docker image starts
  • Copying .sesi_licenses.pref to the docker home folder
  • Remotely running hkey, which obviously fails because there isn't a GUI on the image.

Is there a way to set up the license via the command line that I'm missing?
