Can you return and redeem licenses more than 3 times?

Hi

I have 2 Houdini licenses that need to be moved around and I can see I have almost used up all the times I can do this. Is it possible to generate og free up more redeem “tokens” in some way?

best to ask support directly for these kinds of questions

I wish SideFX would reconsider this scheme. Finally owning and loving my Indie license, it honestly feels like the last ball and chain of the package.

I had to totally reinstall my Windows 10 due to the fact for some reason my Black Magic Fusion Studio and Resolve 15 simply wouldn't open any longer; splash screen and then nothing…

Everything is working fine now that I reinstalled, and I'm slowly reinstalling all my other graphics wares, but I was afraid to install Houdini 16 because

1) I still have an active license sitting on my other, now unused SSD w/broken Win 10 on it,
2) I wasted one being new to the package and went to my account (and I think?) returned one cause I was confused on working w/the licensing system and

3) I didn't want to blow any “chances” of being able to install v17!

If I could simply flip a switch and return all my licenses I'd be so happy!

I love how Allegorithmic and even FX Home w/HitFilm lets you log into your account and manage your licenses; you can see ALL the activations, and either kill them all at once, or individually. Even Pixologic lets you request deactivations wo/penalty…

I'd frankly LOVE the option of buying a dongle - yes, thank you, YES!


So I'm waiting for v17 to install on my new installation - I'm praying it will work!

Frankly I can't stand Windows 10 w/all the forced updates and quirks and bugs; I was so tempted to go back to Win 8.1 Pro, but opt'd to give Win 10 one more chance - I've been backing up like crazy just so if a program install breaks something I can go back to a working state…

PS - I do want to say from the bottom of my heart, thanks SO MUCH SideFx for giving us hobbyist and tinkerers access to Houdini; such an amazing package for the asking price, especially with all the apparent love, energy and sweat that goes into each outstanding update!
