Houdini 6.03

Glad I still have Houdidit

Same here

Another annoying thing about Houdini was that you could only have one working version on your computer (aside from the free version).
So even though I have license keys for Houdini 2,3,4 and 5, I can't use them because Houdini 6 has been activated.

It can't be compiled for Linux w/o Herculean effort. Since it uses "windows.h".
But I managed to compile these windows executables on Linux.
But I'm not sure if it's legal to share them?

Code: Select all

5180B houdini-x86-64bit.exe            
5180B houdini-x86-64bit-pext.exe    
2736B houdini-x86-64bit-popcnt.exe

I don't know about that, Graham. I have Houdini 4, 5.01, and 6.03 all active and able to analyze in Chessbase 17.

I find it most useful for solving "mate in n" problems. You'll need to DL the Nalimov 6 man EGTBs for best mate solving performance.

Set the config setting "Tactical mode" to 1.

You're lucky.
If you doubleclick on the earlier exes, do they show that your license is still valid?

I can't see a download link on this page — am I missing something?

I paid for Houdini 6 but changed PCs so can't access it. I'm interested in trying "Houdidit", and don't see a problem if he violated the Stockfish license.
