Hi there!

I'm currently learning Houdini (moving on from ~18 years of 3ds max) and thinking about moving on from the Apprentice License (such a great idea, thx again, SideFX!) to Indie. Since I saw that a license for Houdini Indie can be bought via Steam I was wondering: whats the catch?

-Will Houdini only run node locked to the machine that was used to buy Houdini via the Steam client?

-Will it be “node locked” to the Steam account? (which isn't really “locked” to a single machine)

-Will Houdini only run if the Steam client is installed, running and connected to the internet?

I searched the site and forum but couldn't find any info on this.. Can anyone answer this?


Greetings,
Christian
