You need to switch the license server and install the Apprentice license there. You can't mix license types on the same license server. So if your Indie license server is your machine, you can use the sidefx server as the license server for the apprentice license. Add it in the license manager and install the license there.

Sry should have made my point clearer:
I was referring to your first question:

Will Houdini Indie HDA's be limited to indie licenses, as the resulting HDA being .hdalc?

Yes, if you use a .hdalc with a Fully Commercial license, your scene gets "downgraded" to indie.
I don't use orbolt either. But you can use it to convert your .hdalc to a hda.

Yes, that may be true for you. I use subnets quite alot to organize my flows. I mean, sure, you can live without the feature. I can, too. But it wouldn't hurt to add it. And I guess it's not a big deal to add it. So what's the point of arguing against it? It doesn't hurt anyone. I could live without USD, but I don't start arguing against it. If it's not for me, I don't use it.
