I'm not using proprietary closed source software, but try running it
from a command line to see if there is any error from the program. You
can also try to check if it is missing any library (if it is not
statically linked) with 'ldd <binary>', also if you have SElinux
enabled (which is default on Fedora) check for its messages (I think
in /var/log/audit/audit.log) (maybe it blocks some "actions" from you
software, and if it does, you can temporarily try disabling SELinux and
testing it again)
