So the exciting question is:
Will it be possible for us hd license owners to use benefits of distributed fluid sim?

(I hope so much that answer is yes )

Dont think so

ERROR: No licenses could be found to run this application.
Please check for a valid license server host
and ensure that a commercial license is installed

any official information?
it would be really nice to have some kind of possibility to distribute fluid sims with hd.

“HQueue is initially being released for LINUX users as a free public beta. The planned release of HQueue is July 2009, when it will also be available for Mac OS X and Windows systems. HQueue will be made available as a free add-on to commercial licenses of Houdini Master and Houdini Escape. ”

This is from the press release here:

HQueue will therefore not be available for Apprentice or Apprentice HD customers.

thanks…
but, you could consider some kind of hqueue version for hd users… I bought a license with an idea to develop my short film in houdini, and having a possibility to use more than one computer for rendering/sim calculation would be very nice… but I do understand that there must be a difference between non-commercial and commercial features… so, don't take this as a ranting,
just wishing

If we have a Houdini Escape 9.5 commercial license , will have access to the software also?

Or is only for H 10 Costumers.

Thanks.
