A weird thing is happening,
Houdini always ran smoothly on my machine.
Today, for no apparent reason, it's not working anymore.
first i get the license administration window popping up; asking me to install a license. Than, when I accept, a end user license agreement ops up and I press accept…than it jams… it's not responding anymore. I have no clue what to do. Never happened before, even thought I have those license window opening from time to time, it always runs fine.

I'm running Houdini 10.0.595 on windows xp64.

Please help me, I can't spend one day without Houdini!!!

EDIT: Hmm, I'm not sure why that would be the case since it's working for me. I'd just try again today. Maybe the server load was too high?

So it would be sidefx server than? Victim of their own popularity?

<shrugs> I'm just guessing. HAve you managed to get your Apprentice license yet?

Can't try, I'm at work…I'll have to wait until tonight

Nope, it doesn't work…=
I uninstalled and re-installed Houdini and it still jams looking for a license…

I have that problem all the time, on XP64. Really annoying.

Get your licence here:

Hmm, it never happened to me before but it works!!!
I can breath again, thanks alot Soothsayer!
