Do they really need Server for that, or would a workstation do? I use a
workstation as a license server for one app, and another workstation for
the management console for the burglar alarm and antivirus. I've got my
Unifi WAP "controller" on one workstation out of expedience, even
though in
principle I could run it as a Java-based service on Linux. Sadly, none of
the others provide a Linux alternative, even though the upstream license
software has Linux support, or I'd put them on my CentOS box.
