EntVista Hub 2026.3.1 — Session control from the command line, calmer sign-in notices

What's new

Ready for Metrixel Mesh-Aware Correction

Metrixel 2026.3.1 adds Mesh-Aware Correction, which reduces self-clipping in retargeted motion, and Clipping Visualisation, which shows you where Clipping remains. Both are Professional-plan features. EntVista Hub is what confirms your plan includes them, so this release is required to use either. 

See and release your licence seats from the command line

Two new commands show and manage the seat your Professional subscription covers:

entvistahub --mode cli auth lease list      # which devices hold a seat on your account
entvistahub --mode cli auth lease revoke    # release this device's seat

auth lease list answers "which machine is using my seat?" without signing anything out. auth lease revoke frees this device's seat without ending its sign-in.

Sign out everywhere

auth logout --all ends every session on your account and revokes EntVista Hub's access in one step. Use it when you retire a build server or can't reach a machine that is still signed in:

entvistahub --mode cli auth logout --all

Headless hosts stop with a clear reason

When a headless Metrixel run starts while your seat is in use on another device, it will now stop and tell you why, rather than carrying on without your plan's features. Rerun with --replace-existing-session (introduced in 2026.3.0) to take the seat over, or free it on the other device first.

What's changed

Long-lived sessions are now opt-in

Command-line sign-in now creates a regular session by default, which times out just like any other sign-in. If an unattended host has to stay signed in indefinitely — such as for long idle stretches and restarts — sign it in with --offline:

entvistahub --mode cli auth login --offline

A session like this does not expire on its own, so release it with auth logout --all when you retire the host (see Known Limitations).

Running `auth login` again on a machine that is already signed in now reuses the existing session instead of creating a second one. Add --force if you really want a fresh sign-in.

Improvements

• One notice instead of a stack of pop-ups. A machine left running overnight could build up a "session expired" dialog for every background check, each needing its own click. You now get a single notice when the session ends.
• You're told when sign-in needs attention. If your session can't be refreshed, or EntVista Hub has fallen back to its offline grace period, it now tells you. Before, this happened silently.
• Faster reconnect after sleep on macOS. Your session refreshes as soon as the Mac wakes, rather than at the next scheduled check.
• Signing out always frees your seat. Command-line sign-out now releases your seat every time, and so does quitting EntVista Hub normally.

Known limitations

• Signing out an --offline host: use auth logout --all. Running a plain auth logout first removes the sign-in that --all needs. If that happens, sign in again and then run auth logout --all to end the long-lived session.
• On Linux, EntVista Hub continues to ship as the relocatable tarball — that is the distribution format, with no separate native-package or installer step.

Pricing

No tier changes. Mesh-Aware Correction and Clipping Visualisation join Motion Retargeting, batch mode, SDF export, TIFF export, and USD animation export on the Professional plan. Professional subscriptions continue to cover one active device at a time. EntVista Hub, of course, is free.
