I also have one of those programs, and it uses a dongle.  Wine was
useless for this app.  I was able to get the program up in
vmware-server, but the dongle would not cooperate.  There was another
thread here not too long ago that spoke of a similar issue, in which a
response was made to plug the usb dongle in prior to powering on the
virtual machine (although I have not tried this yet, I intend to give it
a go when I get back to my office).
