If the service gets killed once the license is confirmed, the software does not remember that a license is active and the software immediately goes in demo mode after the confirmation.


Maybe in some distant future it would be ok to run Wine in the background all the time. But not now.
For now the only realm where Wine used is user programs. Any services that must run all the time have to have a native Linux version. Request such software from your vendor. Or switch to vendor that provides native Linux versions.
You can always start a separate program such as notepad and keep it running. This will keep your services up and running.
