Various versions of FlexLM do work to a greater or lesser extent in
Wine, on a quick search of the appDB.

Since the stuff managed by FlexLM is typically expensive and
well-supported commercial software, it would probably be well worth
your while contacting the app vendor about getting stuff working
better in Wine, even if not as a full official platform.

(Certainly everything I've ever been responsible for that used FlexLM
was pricey enough for pretty near direct-to-developer support ...)

It may or may not also be worth contacting the bit of Macrovision that
make FlexLM about getting it to play nicer with Wine. More platforms more sales,
and FlexLM runs well(-ish) on most commercially-used
platforms I can think of.
