Hi all,

I am currently trying to install Houdini 20 on Linux Mint 21.2, and all is well until I try to change the license server to the one provided by my school using the license administrator's add custom server function. Attached below is the error window which pops up.

I use Forticlient VPN to connect to their private network which hosts the license server, and using the command in CLI returns the correct internal IP-address, so this isn't a connection issue. Also, I know for a fact that the server works because I am able to activate Houdini without issues on Fedora 38 using the exact same method I described, only the Houdini version differs (19.5).

Am I missing something here?

Regards,
Victor

Update: I tried the same for Houdini 20 on Windows 11, and the problem persists. Could this be an issue with Houdini 20?

Update: License Administrator 19.5 works fine, so we can confirm this is a Houdini 20 issue.

Since there appears to be no direct solution to my problem, can someone tell me where in the filesystem the hostnames are stored? Maybe I can link the server manually.

Contact support if it used to work 19.5, then it's likely a regression in 20.0.
