That is possible but unlike, because the same software/installer runs on
windows w/o a usb dongle connected - it results in installing the evaluation
function, and later, when the dongle is attached, one can change to the dongle
license.  

And I tried loading vhci on the host (I tested with "modprobe vhci_hcd"), that
does not help running these applications within wine either. 

For clarification, it would be perfectly fine for me if usbip would be
integrated in wine without the need for usbip-win. It just needs to provide a
solution, that allows to run the usbip client commands which are: 

  attach     Attach a remote USB device
  detach     Detach a remote USB device
  list       List exportable or local USB devices
  port       Show imported USB devices

One can do these also on the host, in that case the functions of the driver
provided by that device need to be made accessible to software running within
wine.
