Recently I enrolled in an online course for compositing in Nuke, and together with it bought an educational license for Nuke Studio. While I could install the node-locked license in the Foundry License Tool and get my Nuke installation to recognize it, it started in plain normal Nuke mode, not Nuke Studio.
After quite a lot of searching and browsing, I did what I perhaps had should done earlier, and checked the command-line options. And wouldn’t you believe it, there it was, plain as day: A
--studio flag.
After I started from the command-line using that flag, it started in Nuke Studio mode.
So now, on with the course!
