I'm trying to run Scia Engineer version 2013.1 on Ubuntu 13.10 using Wine 1.6.1. So far I managed to install it. But this program requires a license to be activated. I applied for a student license which I received by email, so I have it in my computer, but this program can also be activated by a USB hard-lock (dongle). So a License server is installed with Scia along with some other software - FlexNet and Sentinel HASP. I already found numerous posts about HASP not working in Wine, but I haven't found any information about using dowloaded license file (.lid) instead of USB. Anyway, my problem is this: during Scia installation, Sentinel HASP is about to install, but shows error:
Installation of Scia continues, with warning messages about security software not installed correctly, but finishes anyway. Then I open Activation manager and load my license, when activating, it shows error "license not in trusted storage", which is obviously because HASP was not able to install.Error when starting the hardlock service with parameters 1221 1060 0
This is an internal error. For assistance, contact your administrator or the software manufacturer.
ErroCode: 48 5 718 1060
Installation ended prematurely because of an error
I found HASP for linux, but installing it has no effect. I don't really understand these, maybe I'm doing something wrong with the linux version, should I turn it on somewhere? Point it to .wine folder so Scia sees it?
Yes I know running Scia in virtualbox is an obvious solution, but it "feels" like I'm getting close to runnig it in Wine, which would be much much practical for my work.
Can anyone please suggest what to do? Or point me to some other posts dealing with this issue?
Thanks for your time,
Petr
