After only 10 minutes, I received the mail with the link and Serial-Code - nice.

Test-gauntlet for my LS-rankinglist is in progress. Final result (hopefully) on sunday (evening)...

Nodes/second seems little bit increased (+5-10%).

Best - Stefan

Thanks again Stefan,

are you able to see a difference in speed for reaching a certain depth?

No, sorry. The LittleBlitzerGUI (which I use for my LS-rankinglist gauntlets) shows only the average depth (for all moves in all played games). That value seems to be the same (like in Houdini 2).

Houdini can be installed only in 3 pc's!!!

This is not stated anywhere in the site, before you buy Houdini.

I have already asked for a refund. I am not buying something limited to 3 installations for a lifetime, and what's more buying it without ever knowing it.
Kostas,

The activation is there to reduce piracy, not to limit your genuine use of the engine.
At any time, if you run out of activations, just send us an e-mail and we will increase your activation limit.

You know that in very few days its would be cracked. So the only ones having problems would be paying customers for no reasons at all.

Why don't you mention this in the web page, before someone buys it?
