really? i thought you also installed SaTLab...an application which
requires an on-the-net licensing verify to allow it to run, right?

and, apparently it uses something called FLEXlm to coordinate the
license, right?

and the output from FLEXlm *TELLS* you what is wrong and how to fix
it (look at the FLEXm manual), right?

have you looked at it yet?

see, i don't even know what SatLab is, and certainly do not have
*YOUR* problem, but i WILL tell you that there is a section in that
manual titled "Troubleshooting Guide" with a sub-section named
"Connection Problems" which begins with this line: "The application
program (or lmstat) can't connect to the server to check out a license."

so, if you wish, it *is* you option to keep believing the problem is
with openSUSE and sit here and wait until a SatLab user/guru comes
along and reads the manual *for* you and tells you how to fix it..

i won't be doing that..
