Bug ID: 38877 Summary: Ancestry Family Tree Maker 2014 on Wine1.6 Ubu14.04 Fails To Pass SN entry Product: Wine Version: 1.6.2 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: loader Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jcjackson@joe-jackson.net Distribution: ---
Ancestry Family Tree Maker 2014 on Wine1.6 Ubu14.04 Fails To Pass the Serial Number Entry security pop-up, where the same install works properly on a Windows partition on the same machine.
The Wine install worked without problem, and components like Notepad work as expected, and the FTM install process starts as expected and seems to run well up to the presentation of the security pop-up requesting the software serial number, the error it throws is "Error Activating License! The requested feature is not implemented. Please try again or visit our support site for help." Retries do not work at all either. It is as if there is no network connection, but the network features are working fine for other Ubu apps, and the install works well on the Windows partition on the same machine.
One additional point, before winetricks would install 7-zip the permissions for the .wine directory required normalization, .wine installed with just use permissions for my user id without my group.
So few people use FTM there seems to be little chatter anywhere about the install problems, most users seem to give up in 2009 and worked around by using a Windows VM.
