Hello,
I was having a number of problems with Indie not updating my file with changes I made to it even after a system restart which led me to need to start over with a fresh project.
I thought since I would be building it up again in the same direction that there might be a bug that has since been resolved so I decided to get the latest build.
I was using 15.5 from last spring or early summer…sometime around there as an upgrade from apprentice.
When I downloaded the 15.5.607 production build and installed it ( after uninstalling 15.5.x ) I made sure the selections were such that it would be fetching the indie license ( there is one dialogue where you make your selections ) and not choose apprentice.
But I opened an .hiplc file and made some changes and when I save its doing it as .hipnc files.
So obviously it has ‘reverted’ to apprentice and didn't fetch the license when I installed it as expected.
Do I have to go through the license server like I did when I initially went from apprentice to indie?
I think I have those directions in an Email from support, but I also thought there is a limit of applying license with Indie of 2 per year.
So am I right to understand that upgrading production builds in Indie uses up my alloted Licenses?
Thanks.
Best Way to update Indie Version

My Bad…
I was in Sidefx bin folder and I dragged and dropped ‘houdini.exe’ to my taskbar.
Should have just gone to start up menu and done it from there (especially because ‘start-up menu’ was the choice I made during installation).
In startup menu, I see it has 4 choices:
houdini 15.5.607
houdini 15.5.607 Aprrentice
houdini 15.5.607 FX
houdini 15.5.607 Indie
