Bug ID: 57653 Summary: Software-based iLok activation doesn't seem to work in wine, gives some file I/O error Product: Wine Version: 9.17 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: el@horse64.org Distribution: ---
It seems to be the case that software-based iLok DRM ( https://paceap.com/ ) is currently broken in wine, and can't activate any license while spitting out some weird file creation error instead:
Thrift: Fri Jan 10 19:16:52 2025 TPipe::open ::CreateFile errored GLE=: errno = 2 Thrift: Fri Jan 10 19:16:52 2025 \.\pipe\com_paceap_eden_licensed_authorization: errno = 0
This means all professional audio software that uses software iLok doesn't work, and tragically pro audio software is otherwise one of the most well working software categories that I know in wine. Since iLok is so popular, this means a lot of industry standard software doesn't work, making this a potentially high impact issue for audio software.
It would therefore be nice if this could be addressed at some point. Sorry if this is just caused by some mistake on my end, but I've found others on web forums with similar problems with activations, so I believe it's not just me.
