Ok So followed directions exactly. I have Apprentice installed
https://www.sidefx.com/products/houdini-engine/unity-plug-in/ [sidefx.com]

First issue, there is NO Unity custom package for installing as per instructions. You need to open as a project.

2nd issue, when trying to drag one of the samples from the OTLs directory to my Unity hierarchy, I get an error message saying I am missing a license.

Asset not loaded: HAPI Error: No Valid Licenses Found
- HAPI_LICENSE_MODE unset or is set to ‘default’ meaning Houdini Engine will first try to acquire a Houdini Engine license and if one is not found it will try to acquire an interactive Houdini license (Houdini then Houdini FX).
- No Houdini Engine license found.
- No Houdini license.
- Found a Houdini FX (Houdini Master) license but it is not the required commercial variant.
- No Houdini Engine Indie license found.
- No Houdini Indie license.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
HoudiniAsset:build(Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean) (at Assets/Houdini/Scripts/HoudiniAsset.cs:1091)
HoudiniAssetOTL:buildAll() (at Assets/Houdini/Scripts/HoudiniAssetOTL.cs:105)
HoudiniAssetUtility:instantiateAsset(String, Vector3) (at Assets/Houdini/Scripts/HoudiniAssetUtility.cs:212)
HoudiniHost:processDragEvent(Event, SceneView) (at Assets/Houdini/Scripts/HoudiniHost.cs:1132)
HoudiniHost:hierarchyWindowItemOnGUI(Int32, Rect) (at Assets/Houdini/Scripts/HoudiniHost.cs:1077)
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()


So I try installing a valid 30 day license.

I then get another error popup from the Houdini License Administrator

Error installing key: LICENSE Generic Houdini Engine 15.01 22-jul-2016…
Could not write the license to a file:
C:\Windows/keys/licenses.local


Anyone that can help?
This shouldn't be so difficult

ok solved

first was a permissions issue on my licenses file

Then discovered I needed to manually generate and enter license keys
