What is the computer limit for the standard version? I have 3 computers and usually like to play computer versus computer.
Houdini 3 was limited to 3 has it changed?
Houdini 5 has been released

Re: Houdini 5 has been released
Thank you Robert. Also, thank you for offering the 15% upgrade discount on webpage for those who purchased Houdini 4. Just sent my payment in. My true desire is to get a macOS native Houdini 5 if possible. Under macOS, I have to run Houdini in 32 bit mode through, which is a handicap on my machine and I do not get to experience Houdini at full strength.Houdini wrote:Houdini 5 has been released today.

Re: Licence problem ...
Hello,
unfortunately I have a licence problem.
First installation on I7 4770 is OK.
Second installation on i7 4770 not OK ..
If I start in text mode I can see ...
"Info string no valid license found - the engine strength will be reduced"
Thrid Installation on i7 5930 not OK ...
"Info string no valid licence found - the engine strength will be reduced"
No idea here ...

Re: Houdini 5 has been released
Robert, did you manage to add back the greatest tactics that any chess engine has? Together with the great positional level, at the same time?Houdini wrote:Houdini 5 has been released today.

Re: Solved ...
Hi there,
I copy the engine via network in the Shredder / engine directory at first (here all the engines are installed) and install Houdini at second on the second and third machine via setup.
That was my mistake!
I delete the houdini files in Shredder directory, reinstall Houdini on the second and third machine. Made again a new installation and all works fine on machine 2 & machine 3.
Sorry for my message!
Now Frank is happy!

Houdini should allow 4 activations with one key:
Houdini 5 requires an internet product activation which will automatically
be performed during the installation.
Your Serial Number will allow 4 product activations on computers that you
personally own.
