Hello,
I want to try out Arnold rendering engine with Houdini 16.5.405 Indie Commercial version.
I downloaded Arnold for Houdini 16.5.405 from:
https://www.solidangle.com/arnold/try/arnold-download/
I installed the installation that came with it.
I also modified the .env file
This is how text in file looks at the moment:
----------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Houdini Environment Settings
#
# The contents of this file are read into the environment
# at startup. They will override any existing entries in
# the environment.
#
# The syntax is one entry per line as follows:
# VAR = VALUE
#
# Values may be quoted
# VAR = "VALUE"
#
# Values may be empty
# VAR =
#
# Example:
#
# HOUDINI_NO_SPLASH = 1
# htoa config start
PATH = "$PATH;C:/Users/cocli/htoa/htoa-2.2.4_re18b644_houdini-16.5.405/htoa-2.2.4_re18b644_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION}/scripts/bin"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Users/cocli/htoa/htoa-2.2.4_re18b644_houdini-16.5.405/htoa-2.2.4_re18b644_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION};&"
# htoa config end
When i start Houdini i will get every time error below:

In Houdini when i create a basic Scene and i render with arnold i will get every time water mark on my render.
I downloaded also Licence server installer from here:
https://support.solidangle.com/display/A5AILIC/Installing+RLM+on+Windows
And i used Trial licence file and used that when installed the license server as it was asking at start the file.
Also when inside Houdini i select Arnold >> RLM Licencing
same errorors pop up (the one i get when i start Houdini) and also
Here is also video where i try to explain this

You didn't mention the trial license. Did you get the trial license file and put it in the same folder as Arnold (ai.dll) ?
The trial license doesn't use the RLM license server
