Sorry for the late answer, but maybe it still helps.
The solution on my side was a plugin/addon that was added/loaded through my packages to my houdini_path variable (I only found out later by accident). In this addon/otl folder were a few hdalc assets that secretly downgraded my houdini session.
I think the main issue was/is that houdini is showing the normal splash and not showing any message about the downgrade when it's downgrading because of scanned otls? For me it was even more complicated because i used a custom project manager which saved the files by script command and named the .hiplc file .hip. So when I realized that all my "hip" files are actually lc, i already worked quite a while on the project.
Cheers,
Heiko

Ok i shutdown my local license server (sesinetd) restarted hserver but the only thing that happens is that houdini now shows non-commercial instead of indie.
same as before. I can save .hip files, can't open them. When i press ctrl+s after saved to .hip it switches automagicly to .hipnc.
License Administrator shows the lic in use.
any clue what could cause houdini to downgrade while running?
the network connection ist stable
as mentioned this worked super flawlessly till i updated to h18
the only thing thats new and i don't understand is the ipmask error icon, but i can't get more info from it?
no obvious errors in the diagnostic.

I have an indie license on my workstation for my private projects and testing purposes.
For Commercial work i switch to another license server to obtain a full commercial license (hserver -S xxxxx).
In the past (till 17.5) this worked flawlessly, now (18.0.499 and 460) i get some strange behavior. Houdini is mixing up the licensing somehow.
I start commercial (FX or core, tested both).
Server showing that i checked out a license. Houdini Info and title showing FX/core, not indie.
But in the viewport i see the “indie Edition” label in the bottom right corner.
I can save hip and hiplc files, but cannot load the hip files.
Any clue whats wrong here, it's currently mixing up my commercial scenes.

Technical Discussion » polysplit in h16 generates different point order?

I opened an old file in H16 originally saved in H15.5. The whole model was messed up. I narrowed down the error to the polysplit nodes (see attached sample).
I'm rather new to Houdini and since i couldn't find anything on the forum my question is if this is a bug or if i'm missing something here.
