TLS 1.2 error when activating Scrivener
I saw a previous post here that had the same issue of activating Scrivener. I followed the solution to it, making sure to install .NET 4.8, but it still gives me the "Please enable TLS 1.2 on this machine" error.
I've tried installing Scrivener and .NET 4.8 in both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture, yet the error persists. Any ideas on how to resolve this?-

Re: TLS 1.2 error when activating Scrivener
Did you manage to get anywhere with this? I also will need to activate Scrivener and Scapple on Linux on WINE?
In my copy, I had it run the license code finder to find my Mac's license code so I can do the crossgrade to the Windows version, and it came back not being able to find it. So it seems there is some form of Internet-type issue such as TLS. I did set Windows version to 10 to be on a supported "Windows" version.

That seems strange as TLS support in wine is handled by gnutls, so unless wine was compiled without gnutls that makes little sense

I've been told by Scrivener Support I need to run Scrivener as Administrator in order for the license code to take. Posted another thread about asking how to do this. I'll keep you posted how it goes.

How do we check to ensure GnuTLS is installed?

Re: TLS 1.2 error when activating Scrivener
Here's what worked for me:
1. Update WINE to version 7
2. Install winetricks (I installed it from my Linux Mint Software Center)
3. Open Terminal and run WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wine/instance" winetricks
4. Select "Install Windows Component or DLL" (if you don't see it, select "Install and Application", then go back, then you should see it
5. Install DotNet48 (.NET 4.
Then re-try activation. Took flawlessly for me.
