It may be that Image-Line revised their protection system so that it is now Wine compatible (which means that a Wine regression test is not meaningful). This bug can always be re-opened, but can at least one other tester confirm that the reg code is being accepted with 8.5 beta 4 ? Note that this beta is not available to non-customers of Image-Line.
Well, if it's a case of Image-Line using a new version of the packer and nothing has changed in Wine, marking this WONTFIX as per Anastasius's analysis would make more sense.
