Registration of Anime Studio

[click-clack]

In version 10 of Anime Studio Pro an activation feature was introduced where you need to activate the software over the net to be able to run it.

There are two ways of doing this, both fails in Wine.

First at starting AS a registration window pops up where you fill in your name, mail and serial number. Then you got the two options:

1. Anime Studio tries to contact the servers directly. - It is never able to, giving this message in a popup:
Anime Studio Pro could not access the Activation server (Error -4202)!

2. Manually activation. Here you get another window where you should be able to Create an Activation Request which is a text file containing a long machine specific activation code which you then should provide at an activation website, being given a response code which you then should feed back into Anime Studio.
Clicking the Create Activation Request button crashes Anime Studio before it can create the code.

Here is the Wine crash report - http://pastebin.com/J0B7Ya65

Without activation you can start the application in a 7 days grace mode which is the activation process postponed 7 days. You however have to provide name and serial number each time you start the program...

How can I get this to work? I really need this application.
