No need to bother with a license for just testing the ipconfig bug....
Just installing it and staring it reproduces the crash...

I found a way to hack it:
Set up the following in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ipconfig.exe:
(You might want to replace the part between the quotes with the output
of 'ipconfig /all' on on of your PCs or it might be considered
cracking the application...)
--------------- Start next line
#!/bin/bash
echo '

Then run the following commend to make it executable:
chmod +x ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ipconfig.exe
