Hi,Yes, Houdini Indie on Steam uses the usual steam licensing, so, as you've put it, install on many, run on one.Regarding the release schedule, the steam version will always be the latest production build.(so currently on 17.0.352), and we'll update the steam build at the same time as we release a new production build of the "regular" Houdini.We also offer the option to use the latest 16.5 build (currently 16.5.571) via steam's betas branches.
