That is payback for the installation, which is easy in Windows, but
frequently troublesome in Linux (and from what others have told me,
also difficult in Macs). Though I have to admit that it has improved a
lot in recent versions (in Fedora, at least).

There are also the issues with the license server, which likes to die
occasionally for no apparent reason. Which is especially troublesome
when the license server is running in some department computer, and
one cannot do anything until the administrator restarts the server
there. The license server also likes to pick fights with the license
servers of other software that use similar systems (such as the PGI
compilers).
