[Wine] Re: FL Studio 8 regcode isn't accepted

[billstei]

I've been following this bug since FL7.4-ish and Wine 0.9.5?-ish.  I suspect this is an advapi32 problem because I see no calls (directly) to crypt32 or rsaenh, but I am not crypto expert.  It could also be related to the way Wine checks time/date, since these FL beta reg codes are all time-limited expiring.  If so, then this problem (might) go away when FL8 is officially released (ie if it is not time limited).

I also see there are various issues with values being read from the registry by other unrelated programs, so that could be part of the problem.  For example my Goldwave program intermittently loses it's registration code and I have to re-enter it.  Once entered though, it works for a while (versus FL where it never works).  The only reason I have not filed a bug report is that FL8 is not publicly available and is in beta.  It would no doubt help to regress back to a Wine version that works, but there may not be one, as the problem might be the combination of (the newer) FL and Wine.
