Last time ,I post a topic on this site, that problem was I can't install houdini 6 for linux7.X on linux 8.
but now, I installed red hat linux 7.3, and still had the same problem.when I finished installing houdini 6.0340. and then “source houdini_setup_bash”, and then type “hkey”, it appeared, but when I click on “file” and wanted to enter the lincense, hkey shutted down……
people said that was the linux 8.0's fault ,and ,houdini only run under linux 7.x, so I have linux 7.x installed, why I have the same problem??
and what should I do now??
Thank you !

You don't need to post the same question in multiple forums…it just makes for fractured discussions.

You can run Houdini on both RH8 and RH9 - there's just some issues to deal with(don't use Gnome2/metacity, and there's the kernel issue in RH9). However, we run RH7.3 here and it works fine. You don't give enough details to find a solution - graphics card? Window manager?

Also, you can enter manually keys on the command line by using:

sesictrl -I LICENSE foofoofoofooofoo

in case hkey is just plain driving you crazy. I'm not 100% on that for Apprentice versions, though…

I guess I'll post the link to my reply here.
