It is better to expand using Slit&Concat or betterzip. But if you have windows machine, better to expand using winrar. There are some minor bugs on macintosh platform using those two methods. But other people do not have any problem when expanding the files using macintosh platform. That is why i advice you to install Vmware first and install Winrar.

What is floating License?
If you are using on Mac PPC/Intel Platform, you need to install VMware and install windows server. Installation time approxiamately 3-4 hours. You cannot use the deskpack and other licenses if you do not have a Server. Esko Softwares Suites needs server to communicate from PC to macintosh. But if you have PC machine, no need to install VMware software.
