Run WINE App as Administrator?

Post by parkernathan »

Is there a way to temporarily run a WINE app on Linux as as Administrator? I'm using WINE 6.0.2 on Linux Mint Una Cinnamon on a 2011 iMac. I need to enter a license code for a Windows app (Scrivener), and Scrivener Support told me I need to temporarily run the app as Administrator for the license code to take.

Thanks!

Wine already delivers a "administrator" access inside your prefix, the application should be identifing it, if the application asks for it that is a Wine bug.

Try it with current Wine version 7.0
