oh now that I think of it, of course it would work on OSX if you use the USB ethernet dongle as your main internet connection. i've got this one: http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/connect/usb-hubs/dub-e100-high-speed-usb-2-fast-ethernet-adapter
I have to add though that there may be very different reasons why it doesn't work on OSX (maybe it's even the driver of this thingie).Something keeps telling me it's weird that suddenly the problem has disappeared on FreeBSD but not on OSX... I think the only ones who can give a clear explanation is the Foundry or FlexLM... I doubt they will though, because if it doesn't work you might have to buy another license ;) The option of running the licenseserver is well documented in the flexlm docs. You could even rent the license out to someone at the other side of the world when you're asleep ;) On 19 nov 2012, at 12:47, Jimmy Christensen wrote: > Although not a USB stick, but still small, low in power and x86 : > > http://www.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images-SRW.tpl&product_id=402&category_id=148&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=100266&lang=en > > It probably costs less than a flexlm dongle (if it was an option). > > Best Regards > Jimmy Christensen > Developer > Ghost A/S > > On 19/11/12 12:30, ArnoB wrote: >> as far as I know not on OSX >> Windows I don't know, it works on any other OS ;) >> >> A solution on OSX is for instance, to run Linux on >> Virtualbox (or Parallels or any other emulator). >> this does mean though that every time you want to >> use the USB license you need to start an extra OS >> on your comp.
