That's "Globetrotter", not "Flex". And the FlexLM is legendarily difficult to deal with. I've had reasonably helpful words with Globetrotter before, and I expect to again (I hope) later this year when they bring Flex out for Linux. (We use a Linux product that on other platforms is Flex'ed) Having said all that, I believe that the issues with the WP6 license manager were iBCS2 emulation problems, and that they were fixed some time back.
