Question, I saw the "term" of the indie version is 365 days from purchase, is the Houdini/Houdini FX licensing annual as well or perpetual?
Not that I can afford the full workstation license as a hobbyist, but the EULA stated no particular length. I'm also curious if a crossgrade would be allowed if a project were to be picked up, such as a cartoon done on spec, so assets could be used if income suddenly becomes +100k.
