Bug ID: 45432 Summary: Implement Windows Native Firewall Rules for Lightwave Software Licensing - netfw_rules Product: Wine Version: 3.11 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: newel.anderson@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 61753 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=61753 Terminal logs installing and launching Lightwave under WIne 3.11 in Linux
Lightwave requires Windows Native Firewall Inbound/Outbound Rules in order to register/activate one's license.
For reference, please see: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=30847&p=116945#p116945 (I'm wineink)
Towards the end of the above thread I posted terminal output as well as screenshots. Disabling Windows Firewall, as well as deleting the inbound/outbound rules in Windows, deactivates my license. Re-enabling the rules and Windows Firewall reactivates my license. Since this functionality doesn't exist in Wine, Wine hasn't to my knowledge implemented Windows Native Firewall Rules, it's impossible to register/activate my legally purchased license in Wine.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
***Please note, the above applies only to a FULL license of Lightwave. The trial, which is node-locked, works as designed. Unfortunately, the FULL license is not node-locked.
