Bug ID: 52264
           Summary: FL Studio 20.9 product activation does not persist
                    across reboot
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.0-rc2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

FL Studio 20.9 product activation (which uses a registry key) will not persist
across reboots of the system.

This was working up until FL Studio 20.8.4 tested on WINE 7.0-rc2

Unsure how to debug or gather logs for this particular issue, but willing to do
as directed.

I'm also experiencing the deactivation issue on elementary OS 6.1 using Wine
7.0-rc2. Glad to know it wasn't just my strange setup.

FL 20.9's new authorization system seems to generate a machine/validation ID
determined by certain factors, but whatever it is doing or looking at to
generate the machine ID seems (with Wine) to change for unknown reasons and FL
reverts back to trial mode. It's possible (at least on my system) the
activation can persist across reboots.

I have observed it changing from one machine ID at one point to changing back
to a previously generated (already seen) machine ID at a later point (meaning I
could use a previous .reg file response for that ID to reactivate FL).

This is with FL Studio 20.9 build 2748. I've posted on the developer's
technical support forum asking if they could possibly give any more information
or insight as regards to this issue. There's not been a response from them yet,
but I think they might be taking a break right now.

For testing purposes: it's not necessary to have a license in order to view the
machine/validation ID, it can be done in trial mode with the publicly available
FL Studio installer. To view the validation ID, go to Help -> Unlock FL Studio,
click "More..." under "Unlock with file", and then click "Save validation
file". The text inside the validation file is the machine/validation ID.

It looks like other people are reporting similar issues with FL Studio 20.9
reverting back to trial mode even on Windows, so this may possibly be a bug
with the application itself and not Wine.

Where are they reporting this for Windows?
