Possibly they are using Globetrotter for their license scheme. (lmgrd, flexlm and friends) eg http://www.globetrotter.com That system works on Linux (we use it here for some Mentor apps). IMHO it works better if you have one (eg solaris) server set up as the general license server, and use the floating license system rather than the nodelocked one. That way anyone on the LAN can check out a license on their PC (Linux or NT) without having to be expressly set in the license codes. Of course if you have to replace the license server, you have to buy (or negotiate) new licenses with the vendor. That's why people usually use a license host with high reliability hardware like a sparc rather than a PC. The license codes usually cost more than the hardware, so you don't want to be changing the hostid of the license server anytime soon.
