it work on Ubuntu?

Hal,

You could try a user agent switcher in firefox to emulate another browser
and/or OS. Most web based apps use that to distinguish if the user is
running the right os and browser in order for the site to work properly and
allow the service to be used.

Just remember that you won't be able to contact support if the above does
work to some degree as they already have warned you that it won't work with
Linux.

Good Luck!

Bruce
