other Client Computers

Adding a new definition of Client Computer to permit cloud/remote workstations

from:

"Client Computers" has the meaning set out in Section 3.3.

to:

"Client Computer" means a Computer running the Software that connects to the License Server. If the Software is being Used via a thin client, remote desktop, virtual network computing (VNC), or other graphical desktop sharing system, the Client Computer's location is defined as the location of the User of the Software, not the location of the remote computer.

Changing 3.6 to permit cloud use

from:

3.6. Use of Cloud Services. For certainty, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Licensee may only install the Software, or have a third party install the Software for Licensee, for use with a Cloud Service if the License Type that applies to the Licenses issued to Licensee is a Global Access License and only for non-interactive processing. Otherwise, Licensee is not permitted to install or have installed or Use the Software on a Cloud Service regardless of the location of the Computers utilized by the Cloud Service. For certainty, non-interactive processing includes processing using Houdini Mantra, Houdini Engine and Houdini Batch, but excludes processing using Houdini Core or Houdini FX. Nothing in this Section shall be taken to limit any restriction set out in Article 3 or otherwise in this Agreement.

to:
