Bug #: 32226 Summary: Wine does not handle program registry and trial period with Neopaint all versions. Valid entries come back as invalid. Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: info@rudolfkahl.nl Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 42503 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=42503 screen dump of situation after entering registry codes
The only programs I use with wine under Linux are art programs like Photoshop Elements (working perfectly with wine), Arcsoft PhotoImpression 4 (working perfectly), PhotoFiltre, all versions (working well). With wine 1.3 I also could use Neopaint 4 and Neopaint 5 perfectly, but since the upgrade, none of the Neopaints get through the registration feature. With Wine in combination with the program to run the completely legal registration code is not recognized as such. I earlier had the same problem with Arcsoft's PhotoStudio 6, where the registration procedure was incomplete. One could enter the given registration code but it was not recognized as valid and, in this case, also the bar for the trial period was missing. Somehow wine has a serious problem with these issues. As far as NeoPaint of Neosoftware is concerned, something in wine 1.4 has changed in regard to 1.3 that was not for the better. Maybe someone might have a look at this.
