Add HOUDINI19_CHECKOUT_SYSTEM=1 to the houdini.env file to enable.

The license products are ordered based on a hierarchy. The hierarchy is based on the financial cost and features available for that product (i.e. FX > Core > Engine). The system works based on a list of lists. Each sub list represents a license mode (Commercial, Education, Indie, Non Commercial). The order of the lists also tells hserver which are more important and which are less important (the first sublist being the most important). The order of the sublists are [Commercial, Education, Indie, Non Commercial].
