Education licence: how to use Houdini Engine for Unreal Jan. 14, 2026, 3 p.m.

Does anyone have the free Houdini Engine for Unreal/Unity installed? This a commercial license that will interfere with education licenses. What happens is that when you open up Unreal it finds the commercial license then when you load an education asset it is rejected because those files aren't allow in commercial software.

Get rid of the free Houdini Engine for Unreal/Unity and then your education license will be used for the HE for Unreal and the .hdanc file will be accepted.

Hello thanks for this information. I want to know whether indie license holder can use .hda file in Unreal with houdini engine. Will houdini engine for indie license only support .hdalc file in unreal? Also for apprentice license holder, whether their houdini engine only support .hdanc file in unreal?
