Application with a license by PC?

Post by polowine »

Hello,

I have a software with a license by post (on 3 pc different therefore 3 different licenses)

Is it possible to run on a WineHQ (ubuntu) different licenses? should I install several WINE? or do you have to create different user accounts? or just change the installation folder?

Thanks for your help.

If I understand you correctly, you want to run 3 different licenses of the same software in Wine on the same machine.

If the same user is going to be running all 3, all you have to do is install them to separate wineprefixes. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Can_I_store ... 2F.wine.3F

Note that Wine requires the user to be the owner of the wineprefix, so if different users will be running the different licenses, you will need to install them to their accounts.
