I tried restarting both of them and I got the same message. I uninstalled Houdini 6.1 and downloaded and installed 6.0 from the link. When I opened it I got the same license message. When I clicked on installing a non-comercial license I got this error:

Error installing key: LICENSE Generic Houdini-Master-NonComercial 6.0 1 02-sep-2003 +.+.+.+ lesley 4a6c3c7b
L3KNFWJhZrM1Gj0fLE0E1dUPHt24dDbLjhNSFIj@MtDs9O5ibyFLhH3
ERROR: Key installation failed

I tried running houdini and installing the license a second time and I don't get the error, but I do get in the same loop I was before.

Also, the menu that comes up after installing the license is barely legible. The backround is extremely strange, consisting of many different color slanted lines. This had happened on the other version, but this time it is much worse, and also happenes on the administrative screen and the diagnostic information (it only happened on the pop-up menu and the administrative screen on the newer version.) However, in either case, when you manually enter the lisence admin. the background is legible.

They are both there and both already started. Should I try to restart either one?

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still get the same message.

Thanks for being so understanding through all this and helping so much, Steven.
