Hi,

I've got a problem with houdini. It was working fine until I installed an internet connection to my workstation via a router.

The output of the diagnostics in license server is:

It says that machine names don't match, I guess it takes the name of my router to the internet and gets it license using that name. Is there a way to use the local (workstation) name in this process?

Thanks for all help.

Hi,

Please go to this link [license.sidefx.com] with your host name & server code to get a Houdini license.

After the keys are generated, please manually install only the SERVER mivcomp… string with the Houdini License Administrator.

I hope the above helps!

Cheers!
