I have an old version of a windows database program for Homoeopathic medicine repertorisation. If you are curious take a look at
Now this is a windows only program and comes as an installable cd w/ a HASP hardware lock (which can either be parallel port or USB type).
I checked out the alladin site at
http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/hasp4/linuxdrv.asp
for linux drivers and the only drivers they have are for Suse 8.x, 9.x and RedHat 8.x and 9.x according to the readme that came w/ the download.
My question is has anybody been able to get these locks recognised under linux ? The problem is doubly compounded as I would like to run the program under wine.
Of course the vendor of the database has no idea what would be required to run the program under linux.
thanks,
Sharukh.

i have never done it, but afaik bypassing these locks is trivial. Since you have paid for the software, you are entitled to bypass the lock. I am sure the hardware geniuses on this list will tell you how to do it.

you're missing te whole point here. I don't want to bypass the lock. I want to be able to use my (windows) software on my linux box.

you can by using wine and bypassing the lock
Sometime on Nov 24, DSKRP cobbled together some glyphs to say:

Sharukh, I don't have the time right now to look at it, but could you tell me if this database is either available outside the application or if it would be possible to extract the data. What volume of data are we looking at?
If it isn't possible to use the windows application on linux, we could write an alternative.
PS: written to you off list.
