Why can't I export FBX?

I'm using Houdini Indie 16.5 and I'm pretty damn sure that I have successfully exported FBX in previous versions, but I cannot get it to work at all now.

If I try to do in in ROPs then I get this error:

“FBX Export is only supported in Houdini Core and Houdini FX versions.”

If I try to export using File -> Export -> Filmbox FBX then nothing happens at all, no error, but no saved FBX file.

What's going on?

As I said, I'm sure that I've successfully saved out FBX from an earlier version of Houdini Indie.

Has FBX export been removed for some reason?

Hmm, still works for me in Indi. Have a look at the Title bar and make sure the version you have loaded is actually Indi. I have been kicked into apprentice before without any warning and all sorts of things broke.

Ah, you're totally right. Just upgraded to 16.5 but hadn't sorted out the license server properly.

Thanks!
