I installed Houdini 8.2 apprentice on my notebook and I get a license using internet connection; my trouble is the follow: Why should I keep the notebook connected in internet everytime that I want to use the apprentice license otherwise the license manager is unable to serve the license to Houdini? Can I use Houdini offline without keep always the notebook connected in internet?
Thank you.

I think the problem might be becayse your machine is reporting different server name and/or server code when connecting to the internet. If that is the problem, then maybe you can register a license under the server name/code when not connected to the internet. So something like the following:
1. Disconnect from the internet.
2. Start the Houdini License Administrator from the Start Menu.
3. Click on the Server Information tab and record the license server host and the server code.
4. Connect to the internet. Go to http://license.sidefx.com/get_nc_license.php. [license.sidefx.com] Enter the server name and server code and select the Houdini product to activate.
5. Copy and paste the SERVER and LICENSE keys and and save them to a file on a disk.
6. Disconnect from the internet.
7. In the Houdini License Administrator again, select File -> Manually Enter Keys…. Paste each key into a text box using Ctrl+V and press OK.
1. Disconnect from the internet.
