I cleared my licenses file, then deactivated my wireless card in the network configuration, then rebooted, then connected to my router via ethernet cable, then reinstalled the licenses, ran houdini - it worked, then I rebooted and i had the same ‘invalid server key’ problem… am i not disabling my wireless card correctly? should i comment out wlan0 in the modprobe.conf?

ahhh i was actually thinking it might be the wireless card too!
I'll disable the wireless and reinstalll the licenses with an ethernet connection hopefully should be fine after that…

hmm….. interesting. according to the hostname command my host name was twLaptop 1… clicking the Local server button in the change server window sets the license server host to twlaptop1 (without the uppercase L) and accepting this comes up with the error
cannot connect to the license server on twlaptop1
when I set it to twLaptop1, it connects, and I see the two licenses in the list, but I get a red dot at he bottom telling me ‘Invalid Server Key’.
Can I reinstall the server key?

Using fedora 7, when trying to install an apprentice license on h9 i get the following error:
ERROR: Invalid machine name: localhost.localdomain
running
# sesictrl -n
The server code for “localhost.localdomain” is:
SERVER localhost.localdomain 6e490e00
do I need to change my machine name from local host…? i get a feeling this is more of a fedora issue than a houdini issue
