Problem :
I want to install the Intel license manager for FLEXlm on a Windows machine, however, my counted license is for Linux. Can I? 

Resolution :
Yes, you can. The OS of the server system where the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm* is installed is irrelevant to the OS for the license(s) it supports.
So the Intel license manager for FLEXlm can be installed on either Windows*, Linux*, or Mac OS* X machines regardless of the OS for each of your floating and nodelocked Intel software product licenses.




Do you need more help?
