It also occurs to me that one of said highly supported platforms is
Linux itself! So if you can set up FlexLM on the host box and get it
to serve the licenses on its preferred port, you should be able to
drop the licenses into place on the Linux instance of FlexLM. This is
of course fiddly, but not much more fiddly than most FlexLM
administration.
