Advice for running IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm with Dongle in Linux

iar, linux, ubuntu, ubuntu-10.04

Solution

IAR doesn't support running it's software on linux, I have read somewhere that someone was able to launch IAR embedded workbench for MSP430 using wine.

Regarding the license, as far as I remember, you just need to enter the serial number and the code that goes with it.

Problem

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and Wine 1.2. I was able to install the IAR software but it is unable to locate the dongle license. Is there anyway to use a dongle license in Wine with Ubuntu or do I have to use a PC license? Thanks in advance..
