Activation of Anime Studio, help please

[click-clack]

Version 10.1 of Anime Studio introduced a feature where you need to activate your installation by contacting their servers.

This can be done in two ways, I can get neither to work.

1. Online activation, you fill in your serial number and AS tries to contact the servers directly which fails in Wine, an error message appears that AS can not contact the servers (Error -4202).
Terminal output while trying is:

Code: Select all

fixme:winhttp:WinHttpDetectAutoProxyConfigUrl discovery via DHCP not supported
fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet

2. Offline activation. AS should generate a text file with an activation request code that can be filled in online generating a activation code which should be given in the offline registration window.
Anime Studio crashes in Wine when pressing the generate code button (before it generates any code).

Do anyone have any idea on how any of these methods can be made to work or perhaps how one can transfer an activation from another install (virtualbox windows) to the wine installation?

According to the backtrace, your Wine version is 1.5.17. That is over a year old and no longer supported. Upgrade to the latest development release, and install the app to a clean, 32 bit wineprefix. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#32_bit_wineprefix

Thanks.

added the ppa and installed wine 1.7.18, created a .wine32 prefix and installed anime studio there.

Same thing, can't contact server and crashing when trying to create a activation request...

Post terminal output, including the command used to run the program.

Starting with:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine32" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/david/.wine32/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/Smith\ Micro/Anime\ Studio\ Pro\ 10/Anime\ Studio\ Pro.lnk

(Also crashing when starting the exe directly rather than through the .lnk)

Terminal output with first trying to activate online, then manually creating an activation request when AS crashed:
