I am not sure if this is relevant, but PVWave for Linux uses the license
manager without any problem. However, I am running the manager on a
SPARCstation and I don't know if it would work with the manager under Linux.

The other interesting fact is that floating licenses for Linux cost about half
those for SPARCstations. We use our two SPARC licenses for both the SPARCs and
Linux boxes, so perhaps we have paid over the odds (although we got the licenses
before the Linux version came out). I am told that if you buy Linux licenses
there is nothing to stop them from floating on the SPARCstation and that if we
wanted to buy any of these we would have to sign an undertaking that they
wouldn't be used on the SPARC. It all seems a bit daft to me. A SPARC license
does the same thing as a Linux license, so why charge twice as much?
