The console-mode program does not use any window-handles and is 100% console. It just executes a function() that generates a license from it's rand() and then outputs the results to a file. This file is then read() by a linux program to get the results and then pass it to other parts of the system. So there's ZERO need for interactivity or windowing.

You don't need any special configuration. Just make sure DISPLAY isn't set.
