Running a certain software on Wine

Post by Dadab12 »

Hello,
I'm looking to rent a dedicated server that runs on Linux rather than Windows server because of price considerations and I'm mainly looking to run a software called GTO+ and FlopzillaPRO. Two poker analyzes tools that require a lot of cores. Now, the softwares only run on Windows, and I have no experience with Wine or any other emulator for that matter, and so before I purchase a server, I need to know if it's capable of running on Wine. The software developer for these two programs said it won't have any issue running on an emulator, but I thought i'd ask here.

Thanks a lot.

Both programs seem to work well with Wine 5.14. Exporting from one program to another also works.
I cannot say how these programs works on a server.

Thanks. I'm completely clueless as far as emulators go.
Do I need to have a Windows license (I.E Windows server in that instance) to run Wine? cause that would beat the whole purpose.

Thank you good sir.

Of course you don't need a windows license, that's the point behind Wine. Btw, Wine is not an emulator - it runs the program at normal speed.
