Our license is based on serial number of hard disc, from which is the flexlm started. OK, wine emulator allows to specify the label and serial of its (virtual) disks.
Wine installation on CentOS 6.4 x86_64
Remark: use justzypper in wine on (open)SUSE. However, Ansys on CentOS is said to be "oficially supported". It does not apply to this case, I guess. Wine is not part of the official repository tree. As a first step configure EPEL repository (thanks to this link ).
yum install wget wget https://fedoraproject.org/static/0608B895.txt --no-check-certificate mv 0608B895.txt /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 rpm -ivh http://mirror.slu.cz/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
check success:

Troubleshooting
- check the drive serial number
[root@localhost flexlm]# wine cmd
CMD Version 1.4.1 C:\flexlm>dir Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 70fa-1234 Directory of C:\flexlm 11/29/2013 1:45 AM <dir> . 11/29/2013 1:19 AM <dir> .. 11/29/2013 1:45 AM 0 ansyslmd 4/26/2004 8:34 PM 33 ansyslmd.ini 4/26/2004 8:23 PM <dir> Intel 11/29/2013 1:38 AM 224 license.dat 11/29/2013 2:05 AM 1,452 license.plchova.log 11/29/2013 2:15 AM 144 lmgrd.8 11/29/2013 1:45 AM 227 startup.log 6 files 2,080 bytes 3 directories 7,727,013,888 bytes free
- check the if hostname in the
license.datmatch the hostname, specify the same hostname in/etc/hosts - check the firewall settings. The two ports specified in the license file have to be opened fog incoming traffic
SERVER hostname DISK_SERIAL_NUM=70fa1234 1057 VENDOR ansyslmd PORT=1058 INCREMENT ansys ansyslmd 2001.0630 permanent 1 3A8F12345678 \ VENDOR_STRING=customer:00000001 SUPERSEDE ISSUED=24-May-2001 \ START=03-Apr-2001
The two ports are 1057 and 1058 in our case:iptables -A INPUT -m state -s $LAN --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 1057 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state -s $LAN --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 1058 -j ACCEPT
or specify the corresponding rules in/etc/sysconfig/iptables(in CentOS).
