wine users - Jul 2008 - license server platform authentication

I am trying to get a program running under wine that needs to connect to 
a flexlm license server. Unfortunately I get denied when authentication 
because the license is a 'windows' license and I am running the program 
from a linux platform.

Is there a way to make wine authenticate as windows? I am using the 
'windows version' of the program, so I am assuming that there is nothing
'illegal' about this.

thanks for the help,
Pieter

Nobody any suggestions?

If you have tested with the latest version of Wine and it still does not work,
check to see if a bug has been filed in bugzilla, if not create a new bug
report.

Here there is not much Wine can do. The university's server is checking your
system and wine is just relaying the info. My license server is installed
locally within Wine, so I do not have this problem (it's like an offline
system, just checking for the ethernet card but not actually going to a true
server).

Unfortunately, you will probably ask the university system admin to accept i86_r
or to install the client within Wine.
