I have Unreal Engine 4.26 and Houdini 18.5.532 Indie. When I try to start a session between Unreal Engine and Houdini, I get
"Houdini Engine Session FAILED - No License" message. The Houdini plugin is installed. How can I fix the problem?

Issue I have is that in UE4 houdini unreal engine license works but in UE5 it doesn't


I use the same plugin settings in UE4 and UE5, both pointing to the same HDA. Session starts with no problem, but then when I add the HDA to the scene in UE5 the output reads:
"License failed: Disallowed Non Commercial License found."


I've downloaded the same plugin repository from github (https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnreal-v2/releases)

HoudiniEngine-v2.0.3-H18.5.633-UE4.24.zip for UE4 and
HoudiniEngine-v2.0.3-H18.5.633-UE5.00EA2.zip for UE5

hey mwstandsfor , I downloaded the same HEngine for UE5 and can't even get the session to start. I think it might not be finding my houdini license administrator potentially... How did you get yours to work?
