Info:
Houdini is built from the ground up to be a procedural system that empowers artists to work freely, create multiple iterations and rapidly share workflows with colleagues.
FLEXIBLE
Node-based Workflow
In Houdini, every action is stored in a node. These nodes are then “wired” into networks which define a “recipe” that can be tweaked to refine the outcome then repeated to create similar yet unique results. The ability for nodes to be saved and to pass information, in the form of attributes, down the chain is what gives Houdini its procedural nature.
INTUITIVE
Artist Friendly Tools
While the nodes are what makes Houdini unique and give it power, there are lots of viewport and shelf tools that allow for artist-friendly viewport interactions. Behind the scenes, Houdini builds up the nodes and networks for you. Houdini let’s artists explore different creative paths because it is easy to branch off a new node to explore alternative solutions.
NEXT LEVEL
VFX & Simulation
Visual effects artists gravitate to Houdini because its procedural workflow is ideal for creating sophisticated particle and dynamic simulations. Effects are typically designed to react to actions taking place in a shot and a procedural solution “automates” these reactions providing studios with more creative control and more rapid turnaround.
DIRECTABLE
Shots & Multiple Iterations
Houdini lets you make creative decisions deep into production as changes made to Houdini nodes cascade through the network to create a new and unique result. This directability is retained throughout the creative process and can be used to make last minute decisions that would be too costly in a traditional CG pipeline.
POWERFUL
Pipeline in a Box
Whether you are setting up a shot or building a game level, Houdini lets you create tools that can be reused many times during a project’s life cycle. Instead of simply reacting to issues and problems, you will be able to plan ahead and visualize and refine your pipeline.
ROBUST
Asset Creation Tools
A big benefit of Houdini’s node-based approach is the ability to encapsulate node networks into custom nodes that are shareable. Create these digital assets without writing any code then share them with other Houdini artists.
With the Houdini Engine, open assets in other applications such as Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, C4D, UE4 and Unity with the asset’s procedural controls available for editing in the host app.

How does one find the License Server?
it’s code is given by generating diagnostics:

Thank you. Did you ever get this install to work? I get errors after the installation.
does anyone managed to make it work?
unfortunately, even after following all the instructions and reinstalling Houdini with various versions (19.5.368, 19.5.435, 19.5.493) I still can’t get valid licenses.
Thank you!
It works just fine for me.
Is there any chance to get Axiom solver for free?
How did you get it to work?
got everything to work except for te license server…
got everything to work except for te license server…
Can’t get this to work, trying to follow every steps but it’s not working.
Someone mention about geneting diagnostics, but with not enough informations for me to do it.
Ok to all of you guys who struggle to make it work, i post here how i made it work because it’s been 2 days, downloading and trying a lot of different versions, and i almost prayed for someone to write what i’m gonna right.
Crack is working, it’s just something i was doing wrong in the process of installation.
At this part of the installation instructions:
____________________________________________________________________
4.Licensing:
Launch the License Administrator.
In the Server Information tab you will find your Server Name & Server Code
_______________________________________________________________________
in server name, i was copying the wrong thing. In the houdini license administrator, i have this:
If i ctrl + c et ctrl + v the entire thing it looks like this: http://localhost:1715(DESKTOP-L2EhhyQ)192.169.0.10
IT’s WRONG!! if you add this in the keygen, it’s not going to work.
YOU NEED TO COPY ONLY the part between brackets ()
So for me it’s:
DESKTOP-L2EhhyQ
Copy it without the brackets ( and yeah i’ve changed the numbers and letters, just for security ^^).
After that you copy all the generated keys, like explained, i don’t like the 5 by 5 phrasing, so i’m gonna say, copy them all !
And yeah you’ll have to open the ” import lience > manual install” twice because you cannot enter all the keys in the 5 lignes.
One key = one line.
So reopen it a second time when it’s full and add the last remaining keys.
Now if you go into the installed license, you’ll probably see all the ones you installed wrong before with a red mark, but if you scroll down, you’ll see that the good ones, with the good server name (DESKTOP-L2EhhyQ) are here and installed and working !!
That’s it !
Of course your server name will be different, don’t copy DESKTOP-L2EhhyQ !!
It’s mine !
Oh man! I really don’t know how to thank you!
After a week of frustratingly testing different methods, I happened to come to CG Persia and saw your extremely helpful comment.
Thank you very much
Yup! That absolutely worked. Thank you, Obbb!

Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
