Houdini Launcher Login Persistent Dec. 21, 2025, 5:43 a.m.
Hey All,
I wanted to know if it is possible to make the Houdini Launcher log me in persistently. Currently, I have to open the launcher, and "Log In" to use Houdini. If I reboot the workstation, I have to log in again. My license is setup with SideFX to be login based.. and that is perfectly fine, just wanted to know if I can be constantly logged in.
Houdini 21.0.559
Rocky Linux 10.1 with KDE
Happy Holidays.
