birras

it installed liscence automatically.

great
now how did you do it? let me guess, with an internet connection?

when I go to http://license.sidefx.com/get_nc_license.php [license.sidefx.com]

and type my server host: localhost.localdomain

I get the message : invalid machine name:localhost.localdomain

so: I cant get the licence for linux…

localhost.localdomain
Invalid machine name: localhost.localdomain
Im stuck with using it on XP :cry:

sorry for highchecking the thread, but I had some crashes during mantra renders on XP and I have 2 gig of ram on that pc

For example, Houdini could ask for 200 MB, and even though there is 400 MB available, none of it maybe in a straight 200MB chunk, so the operating system tells Houdini it can't have 200 MB of memory, and Houdini crashes.

could that be the reason? if yes, what can one do about it to prevent it?
