H5 on Linux, claims 4.X server on our 5 SGI server Aug. 18, 2002, 8:41 p.m.
I'm running Red Hat 7.3 and KDE. My Houdini license server and workstation are on the same machine. I was getting a similar ‘running older License Server 4.x error.’
When first attempting to run Houdini Apprentice I received a message stating that I was running an older License Server 4.x and needed to install a newer 5.5 version. I clicked view>Diagnostic Information. My system info came up with localhost.localdomain info, etc. The diagnostics showed I was running License Server 4.x. In the Houdini License Administrator dialogue box, I clicked File>Change License Server. The text box displayed ‘localhost.localdomain’. I clicked the ‘Local server’ button, and ‘localhost.localdomain’ changed to my computer name, ‘Apollo’. Then, in a cshell, entered ‘source houdini_setup’, then entered ‘houdini’. I was prompted by a new dialogue box and asked If I wanted to install a non-commercial license. And now Houdini is up and running.
