          • I tried installing on the mac it accepted the server key but not the server license keys nay help??

            • me no I never used mac maybe:( post something on the forum or where I gave you the link

  1. I’M having a problem installing houdini on mac it won’t accept sever license help please?

  2. maybe it is the same for you but the first time I installed it (on windows) it does not work because it cannot find licence, and when I desactivat my firewall it worked so it can be that problem

  3. Anyone who has a mac and installed this successfully give step by step instructions please…

  4. Please, post only the keygen in the rapidshare for houdini 10 / 32 bit

  5. C?mon men, houdini 10 apprentice HD for only 99 bucks…support this amazing product. SideFX deserves it…

  6. Ok… my english is not perfect I hope everybody understand.

    How to install Houdini 10 in Mac OSX

    First, if you have any older version of houdini, uninstall it. The Houdini 10 will fuckup the older version anyway. Also uninstall the sesi folder (/Library/Preferences/sesi).

    Install Houdini 10. But don’t open that yet.

    Go to:
    /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

    And put the sesinetd in the trash. I will ask to authenticate, so type your password.

    Now you can drop the cracked sesinetd inside the same folder:

    /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

    It will ask again to authenticate, so type your password one more time.

    Now you need to do the chmod operation. Type:

    chmod +w /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

    chmod +r /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

    chmod +x /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

    You don’t need to type all the pathway just drag and drop your sesinetd and it will do the rest for you.

    Now WATCH OUT!!! You need to RESTART your machine!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

    Ok… After the restart. Open the License Administrator.app (inside the installed Houdini folder)

    Also open the keygen.exe (you can you Darwine app to open .exe inside mac)
    Type your server name and server code. (You can find it at the License Administrator app. “License server host” and “License server code” inside the “Server Information” Tab)

    And press generate license.

    Go back to License Administrator.
    (File/Manually enter keys)

    And place your key in there.

    It will work now!!! Finally!!!

    • I think I know where people are doing wrong:

      The chmod operation need to be like this:
      chmod +w “path to sesinetd”
      chmod +r “path to sesinetd”
      chmod +x “path to sesinetd”

      “path to sesinetd” in my computer is: /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd

      Type this with NO quotes (“)

      Note that it’s just one line (the forum split the line, sorry)

      • The chmod operation explained:

        When you do those three chmod in the sesinetd, it says to the computer that:

        chmod +w (this can be writable)
        chmod +r (this can readable)
        chmod +x (this can be executable)

        w = write
        r = read
        x = execute

        Now the License Server can work with the sesinetd

  7. Thanks for a great post.
    Works great on 64 bit windows. No problems at all.
    I am new to Mac and the install instructions are very scant.

    It says “4.Licensing:
    Stop license server (from the license server menu or sesictrl -q”

    Where is licence server to stop it. I found hserver buried somewhere, but it looked like a terminal window. How do you stop it?
    What is “sesictrl -q”

    This is easy on PC just go to services AND STOP THE THING.

    Thanks for all you Mac gurus out there who can help me

    • On Mac you can’t shutdown the Lisence Server
      As I say. You don’t need to shut it down anyway.
      Just drop the sesinetd to the trash and replace with the cracked sesinetd.
      Do the chmod operation and restart.
      After the restart the License Server will pickup the new sesinetd.

  8. Small question: I have the 32bit version working seemingly fine. But its wanting to connect to a localhost/*****/start website each time I start the program. Is this website access to a shared online render farm, or some other form of resouce, or other? I’ve continued to block access to the page just in case, but as yet I’m unsure if this is the correct course of action.

    • I don’t think it connects to the sidefx. Because you can use it without internet. To stop the web site lauche open the program and go to edit/Open Help Browser at Startup.

  9. can someone point to linux (ubuntu 8, x32) installation method please? like mac explanation by “python”, thanks in advance, regards, lala

  10. ok, i am getting closer. (linux 32 bit version using ubuntu 8.1)
    problem:
    OK, DONE >> Stop license server (/etc/init.d/sesinetd stop)
    OK, DONE >> Copy the sesinetd from Crack dir to /usr/lib/sesi/ (overwrite)
    NOT Done >> Restart license server (/etc/init.d/sesinetd start)
    error shown (does not exist or is not executable)
    any idea…?

    • hi lala, the problem is that you have to set the sesinetd to executable, it probably isn’t now.. Go as follows:

      in Terminal login as root: su
      then cd to the directory: cd /usr/lib/sesi/
      then see if it’s set to execute: ls -la
      it’ll probably read something like: -rw-r–r–
      while it should be: -rwxr–r–r
      now use chmod to correct the problem: chmod u+x sesinetd
      check again using: ls -la

      this did the trick for me with Houdini version 9.5 on Fedora so it should work..

      any chance you can tell me the password of the linux rars? ;-)

  11. Great post but I don’t see the password anywhere? Could be me of course but I couldn’t find it here nor in the forums?

    If someone would be willing to help out this *probably blind* houdini fan?

    • yea it did not work for me either and I followed all the directions

    • Hey, I’ll try to help you, i did what Pyton says and work’s perfectly, i tray to go i little in deap.
      FIRST:
      0) Forget the instructions in the file taht comes in the crak directory and follow me.

      1) First, if you have any older version of houdini, uninstall it. The Houdini 10 will fuckup the older version anyway. Also uninstall the sesi folder (/Library/Preferences/sesi).

      Install Houdini 10. But don?t open that yet.

      Go to:
      /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

      And put the sesinetd in the trash. I will ask to authenticate, so type your password.

      Now you can drop the cracked sesinetd inside the same folder:

      /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

      It will ask again to authenticate, so type your password one more time.

      2) Ok since here seems to be very easy.
      well then go to the instalation folder (Comand + shift + a ) and now you are in aplications folder, then open houdini 10… folder and execute the houdini shell.terminal
      then type:
      source houdini_setup
      This inicializes the houdini shell envoirment

      then type:
      chmod /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin

      if give you an error missaje don’t worry buy type all the words exactly.
      After this tipe:

      chmod /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin
      And finally type:
      chmod /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin
      The last two types don’t have to give you an error.
      When finish close houdini shell

      3) Now WATCH OUT!!! You need to RESTART your machine!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

      Ok? After the restart.

      4) Open the License Administrator.app (inside the installed Houdini folder / administrative tools)

      Also open the keygen.exe ( h10.exe inside crack folder) (you can you Darwine app to open .exe inside mac or open it in a pc)

      Type your server name and server code. (You can find it at the License Administrator app. ?License server host? and ?License server code? inside the ?Server Information? Tab)

      Server name = license server host
      server code = Server code

      if you have a problem in this part visit:
      http://www.taringa.net/posts/downloads/1707578/Houdini-Master-v9_5_230-Para-Windows,-Mac-Os-X,-Linux.html
      is an Spanish page and is the windows installing process but in the last part you can see how to install the server name and server code that’s equal in both systems.

      And press generate license ( in h10.exe ) copy the licenses and…

      Go back to License Administrator.
      (File/Manually enter keys)

      And place your key in there.

      It will work now!!! Finally!!!

      I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU….

      King.

  12. I did exactly what the instrucions file said and had the same problem as Carlos, later I found these blog and did what the Pyton and King said
    everything was going great untill I got the message that the license administrator couldnt connect to my server so I cannot see my server code
    n I got three red marks in the server information
    what did i do wrong?? any help would be very apreciated

  13. Hi. where is the cracked sesinetd??? I’m using mac. can u send me just the cracked sesinetd please??

  14. can someone send just the cracked sesinetd file for mac please? thank you.

    • Its inside the crack folder, when you uncompress the downoladed files… What’s the problem?

      Download it, uncompress it and in the Crack folder you have got it.

      • yes I know. I accidentally deleted it and the original rar files. but never mind. I already downloaded the whole thing all over again. and have successfully installed Houdini on my mac! yeah! thanks!

  15. “In my case, Sever key on the top works but nothing else. T.T
    It says
    Key 1:
    Installed successfully
    Key 2~5:
    Install Error: Invalid license key specified
    ERROR: key installation failed for [mylocalhost].local”

    I have this problem too =.=

  16. Guys crack for windows is the same for linux????

  17. Is there a torrent that has just the crack? I already have the Houdini installer and RapidShare is not working right.

  18. For anyone that is like me and dislikes services like RapidShare. There is a Torrent of the Mac version of this at http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1911766/8385930/

  19. I have a problem with houdini….

    >License server is running
    >license server is allowed to serve license
    >license server allows server modification from this machine..
    All the three option are highlighted with green colour and all the license keys are installed correctly but when i try to open Houdini.exe this message appears.
    “This Software requires a license key…

  22. Uninstall is not enough, you need to delete “keys” from WINDOWS folder.

    • I ‘m a mac user. I have accidentally installed the license keys, incompletely so I uninstalled Houdini and it was not enough either.

      All license keys are still so, how can I delete license keys in MAC [Leopard]? Where is the license key folder located in OS X?

      Please help, Appreciate!

      • go into library/preferences and delete sesi and that will take care of it. Also if you were able to get it working on mac tell me how you did it because I have never been able to get it installed even follow others detailed directions!!

  23. hi
    i installed the new version in 32 xp but when i copy
    the five keys to the adminster, the first one give error
    and other four keys sucssefully installed and when i install the other number in the first field it installed but when i working
    in the houdini it hangs or locks the software and many of problem which correspond to licencing rise up and cause to locking the software or not well working of the software. pls help me

  24. Well, still doesn’t work for me on Mac. I got the license server up and running (allowed to serve licenses) but not a single license generated by the Keygen is valid.

  25. Guys guys……..I found the solution at last .Thanx god sidefx help me to solve this shit crack…
    thinks are simple and i will post later a full simple guide…

  26. please help!

    i have follow all the step to install houdini on Mac but i don’t know why when i open the License Administrator.app. it only show two options, just Installed Licenses and Server Information. i can’t find any file view or help option!!!

  27. Hey guys, I have question with the installing for mac os x. I have done everything up to restarting computer but for some reason the license administrator cannot connect to my laptop local. I am new to mac, so this matter kinda perplexed me. Is there anything that I should shut or disable ?

  28. Works on mac. I guess the restart is important to allow licensing to accept the generated keys. I had tried this several times before and it would always error when entering the licenes. Runs great now!

  29. Hi everyone!
    At first I got the same licensing error for the 2-5 keys on my 64 bit Windows 7.
    The strange thing I found that I didn’t have to overwrite sesinetd.exe in the system32 folder.
    I can simply copied the file into system32 dir.
    So I uninstall the software.
    Then it was strange, that the sesinetd.exe remained in the system32.exe.
    I deleted it, then reinstall Houdini.
    Then again I haven’t found sesinetd.exe in the system32 diresctory, and on the whole C: drive.
    But I can see running it in the task manager and in the command line column I saw that it indeed running as c:\windows\system32\sesinetd.exe file.
    I tried to find it with explorer, with far manager. Even if my settings set to show hidden and system file I couldn’t found anything.
    At that pont I dedided to reboot my machine from another drive booting my old windows XP.
    Yes, the file was there.
    I simply rename the original to sesinetd.exe_ and copy the new one from the crack.
    After reboot the windows 7 64 bit. I can’t find neither the old and the new sesinetd.exe files, but starting the Houdini License administrator the previously enetered keys wher there and fully functioning (three different set for the first four licence type, from my three previous trying).
    After that I installing the remaining keys without any problem.
    And right now houdini master is running on my Windows 7 64 bit system.
    Obviously there’s a method hiding files in win7, and somehow even if I copied the cracked seinetd.exe, the service that i started was the original sesinetd.exe (I just don’t understand how can be two file with the same name in the same folder), if someone find a solution how can these files can be aacessible from win7 u don’t have to boot into other OS.
    I don’t know if this method is working on vista 64 bit or not, I haven’t used it.
    Hope my experience can help others installing the keys.

  30. I got it too work but there is no file menu.. can anyone help?

    I cannot save or clear anything? weird

  31. None of these cracks work for a mac, all those instructions are incorrect and there is no file menu in the license administrator on a mac!!!

  32. Please introduce me urge to know how the keys for windows vista 32 bit I’ve tried and it did not please me urge

  33. I’m having the same problem as a lot of other mac users. I’m running on Snow Leopard and when I run the License Administrator and there is no File menu at the top! It won’t let me do anything with it! I followed all of the instructions correctly, and this is just making me mad. Please tell me how to fix this problem.

  34. i’m trying it on Ubuntu jaunty..
    I have had no luck either….Houdini installs ok but the License servers fucks up on me..
    When i try to stop the license server using both of these:
    /etc/init.d/sesinetd stop or sesictrl -q
    i get a “fail” message. it wont just stop!

    So I just deleted the sesinetd file from user/lib/sesi folder and replaced it with the cracked one..
    I restart the machine and go to License Administrater but the fucking window doesnt show up..I’m just too pissed and frustrated with this..
    Could anyone throw out some pointers??
    cheers

  35. Ahhhrg
    THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!!….. I have a Mac on snow leopard and this crack is NOT WORKING… give up!
    I tried everything here and it DOESNT WORK!!!
    help….

  36. MAC folks here is how you enter the license keys for those having problems. With this version of the License Administrator most of you are not seeing the File Menu. In this instance go to the folder the Houdini 10.0.249.3 Folder, double click on the Houdini Shell Terminal icon to launch the shell.

    Once in the shell take each line that was generated by the keygen and paste it after this command.

    sesictrl -I and press

    do this for each one of the key strings. This is how you enter the keys manually on the command line. This works perfectly and I have tested it many times.

    This is your MAC OSX solution for entering keys. Enjoy!!!
