Registry keys for application registration

Post by LMLM »

Is it possible to export the Registry keys with registration data of applications so it can be imported into a new Wine installation? If so, which ones and how is that done?

Yes, you can export and import Wine Registry keys for application registration by:

1. Open `wine regedit`.
2. Export relevant keys (e.g., `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<App>`).
3. Copy any additional files (e.g., from `drive_c/ProgramData`).
4. Import the `.reg` file into the new Wine installation using `wine regedit`.

Note: This may not work for DRM-protected or hardware-bound licenses.
