    During the install of workshop pro 5.0 the flex license manager creates a
    file in /var/tmp/license_errors, since /var/tmp is writable by anyone and
    the tmp filename is predictable... you can see the problems here to
    install licenses you need to be root. so, it could be nasty if this file
    was a link...
    
    
    -rw-r--r--   1 root   other    394 Feb  4 13:48 /var/tmp/license_errors
    
    the date and time installed workshop pro
    
    in the file, logs from the install:
