Hi All,

I have a valid Indie license that was working fine on R13 on a Windows 7 box.
I built a new Windows 7 box and upgraded to R14. I have released the previous license on the old machine and re-applied the license on the new machine. The web view of my license confirms it is assigned to the new machine name.

I can create a scene and render at greater than Apprentice resolutions without a watermark.

However, whenever I save my file Houdini appends a .hipnc to the file extension.


HERE IS THE BUG…
If I double click on the Houdini scene file in the Windows Explorer Houdini will launch and open the file and downgrade my license and claim that this is a non-commercial license.

If I open Houdini directly and select that same file from the Recent File list I do not get the warning.

Do you have your *.hip file extension associated to the Houdini Apprentice/Noncommercial executable in the Windows?

Do you still have noncommercial license keys in your license manager?

Thanks for the link to the bug submission form. I was not sure if the forum was the only way to report bugs or not.
