One of the reasons it will not work is that, when installed in Windows it creates an additional file which I believe might be to do with licensing. There is no way this can be generated in Linux. Despite the fact that Linux is not supported SM tech support did try very hard to get it to work for me a couple of years ago but it was really a non starter.

Wait... what? This is categorically untrue. You can have a binary write temp files all day long, you can have one write temp files which are encrypted as license files, and there's dozens of ways to do so, using a huge variety of algorithms and encryption schemata. Totally not buying that excuse...
