cannot activate Partsmart

Post by [email protected] »

Partsmart installs nicely but when the activation screen appears I put in the activation key then press OK and nothing happens, there is no command line output.
It works nicely on windows.(But who wants to use windows!)
here is a link to the partsmart cd iso:

MODERATOR: download link deleted

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do not post links to files that you do not have the legal right to redistribute. If the vendor has a demo, post a link to that.

Take a look at the third post here: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=12681

Be good now! We don't want to have to use this: :evil:

But seriously, be responsible.

Cheers,

Very sorry about any problems created :(

Would anyone know where the activation key files are kept, so I can copy it from windows to wine?

Where Are They?

Post by SpawnHappyJake »

No, I don't know where they are, but RegShot and WhatChanged should be able to help you find them. Follow my link ;)

Remember, activation can be stored not only in traditional files, but also in the registry. So you have to worry about both files and registry keys. Maybe this particular program only stores activation in (non-registry) files. Maybe only in the registry. Maybe both.

Cheers,
Jake

Eww! Gross! Someone seriously needs to make an open source alternative to that dreadful format. It's easy to view one, but have you tried to edit or make one?

Anyways, Linux (at least Mint does) comes with a virtual printer that prints to PDF instead of to paper. You can go online to the WINE FAQ and some wikis and "print" them to PDF. That'd be a PDF manual for WINE.

You could also "print" off the common myths about WINE.

Just click the "About Wine" link at www.winehq.org to get a link to the common myths. Click the wiki link back at the home page to get a link to the FAQ.

The actual manual can be accessed in Linux by going to terminal and typing "man wine". "Man" is short for "manual". Lots of programs have such "man pages". For example, in Linux, you could do "man sudo", "man mount", "man modprobe", "man shutdown", or a host of other programs.

Sure. http://www.winehq.org/site/documentation

However, parts of the official documentation are very outdated. The wiki is a better source of information.
