I just downloaded Houdini Apprentice for windows a little while ago, it installed successfully and worked great. I prefer to work on linux (cause its better) but I am unable to “connect to license server”. I tried editing the location of the server but still get the same error. Any suggestions?

hi - is the license server running? maybe not by default - try:

/etc/init.d/sesinetd start (run as root or with sudo)

i don't have “sesinetd start” in /ect/init.d/
any other solutions?

Perhaps you haven't installed the license server. Run the install again and keep everything defaulted.
Then of course you need to “source houdini-setup-bash”

Hey i got the same issue..
i installed houdini before but what i did was run the houdini install as root or something.

you have to set a command before executing the install.

only i forgot what that command was.
i'm tryng it again now and don't know the command so maby someone here can help a lending hand.

got it:

1.go terminal

2.go to houdini.install directory

3. type sudo ,/houdini.install

for password type your normal password.

Hi guys,

How do you get the license server to run automatically and not start it each time?

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10
