TurboActivate.exe Network Adapters disabled

Post by toadic6 »

Dear all,

I recently moved towards Linux in my working computer. This is my first post and I hope to be as clear as possible

Distro: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Wine version: wine-4.0.1

I am trying to run a commercial software that requires a license. The installation .exe runs fine.
However, when running the application .exe, the TurboActivate gives some issues.

Code output:

Code: Select all

$ wine64 TurboActivate.exe 
002a:fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (0x33e518 (nil)): stub
002a:fixme:wbemprox:wbem_locator_ConnectServer unsupported flags

002a:fixme:wbemprox:client_security_Release 0x7c3ff938
The following window pops-up:

I check my Network Adapters in the console:

They all seem to be up...
It is not very clear to me the cause of the problem

Any hints?

Thank you in advance

Can you link the software? What does it do? There's probably not a free demo?

The software is called EED and it is used for engineering design, but unfortunately I am not aware of a free demo version.
It also does not work on virtual machine.

It doesn't work on a Win7 / Win10 VM either? But on a real Windows install it works?

TurboActivate makes a fingerprint of the hardware and use this as a key to activate the software. It has some protection to detect a VM.

@toadic6
Is it possible to use a Linux version of TurboActivate to activate the TurboActivate.dat file?

@jkfloris Sounds like something to try, but I have no idea how to do that... I will have a look at https://wyday.com/limelm/help/using-tur ... -on-linux/
