How to deal with licenses?

Hi,

I have a question. I use Houdini Mantra for rendering and basically it consists of two parts - one part is IFD generation, another - rendering itself. And it uses different licenses for that. I have a few IFD (Houdini engine) licenses and 100+ Mantra licenses.
So my question is this. How do I limit IFD generation tasks to license amount I have. It's easy if I send one job only, but how to do that with many jobs online?

Thanks :)

You should switch to 3.0 version. There are tickets and pools. You can say that your root pool has 100 mantra and 3 hython tickets. And set correcponding tickets to job blocks.

But for now there is no release.
You can compile it from sources.
I can help you.

Thanks Timurhai,

Didn't notice your reply. I managed to do that myself, documentation was quite clear about that :)
