I am having trouble getting a non-commercial license for Houdini Master 8.1.704. The automatic configuration will not retrieve the license, and manually visiting http://license.sidefx.com/get_nc_license.php [license.sidefx.com] returns the error:

ERROR: Could not generate server key

Below is the diagnostics output. Can anyone help, please?

Thanks,
Matt.

I tried that web page and entering red79 for the Server name and 0315e36f for the Server code worked fine.

EDIT: It seems that the license generator server was rebooted yesterday so try again if you couldn't get an Apprentice License.

Yes, it all suddenly started working yesterday afternoon having not been working on any of our computer lab machines in the morning.

Thanks for your reply.
