I've recently migrated from an ageing iMac running macOS to Linux. I use Reaper to edit a podcast and back in February (before I knew I would be migrating) purchased iZotope RX 7 Elements at a discount.
RX Elements come in macOS and Windows variants, and I was using the native macOS variant when using macOS. Under Linux I am trying the Windows variant under Wine.
I've installed RX Elements without a problem in a fresh WINEPREFIX, I haven't used winetricks or installed anything else. When I try and run the RX 7 Audio Editor it crashes. I'm also struggling to activate it.
I've not used Windows properly in well over a decade, so I suspect some of my problems reading the output may stem from that.
Problems
- Unable to activate software
- Cannot authorise online
- "An error occurred while contacting the authorization server. Please check your internet connection or clock Offline Authorization if you do not have an internet connection."
- I closed the window after which in Windows would take me into the application stating I could use it as a demo, but under Wine it crashed - assuming the same crash as below.
- See failed_online_authorisation.txt.xz for output
- Cannot authorise offline
- When trying "Offline Authorization" there is no code to copy into the website
- I closed the window after which in Windows would take me into the application stating I could use it as a demo, but under Wine it crashed - assuming the same crash as below.
- See failed_offline_authorisation.txt.xz for output
- Cannot authorise online
- Unable to run (un-authorised) software
- Run the application and "Continue" rather than "Authorize" -> crashed after pressing "Continue"
- See crash.txt.xz for output
- Ubuntu 20.04 (amd64)
- Wine version: wine-5.5 (Ubuntu 5.5-3ubuntu1)
