Here's a workaround I found:

Get the SDActivate.exe and SDActivate.lng from an unpatched install from a
retail dvd (fresh wineprefix is easiest way).

Sins of a Solar Empire:
Replace SDActivate.exe and SDActivate.lng with the old versions

Galactic Civilizations II:
Replace SDActivate.exe and SDActivate.lng with the old versions
Also replace the same files in the Twilight/ folder

Demigod:
Replace ReactorActivate.exe and ReactorActivate.lng with the old versions
Make sure to rename the files from SDActivate to ReactorActivate

This should work for other Stardock games, but I have no way to test.
