    Hi Nils,

    Officially Activate is released for Linux RedHat/CentOS 7.4 and SUSE 12 SP3. Other systems may not be supported. It will be best to ask someone from the developers ...

    And please let us know what you have learned.

    Best

    Ok,

    I had some chats with the developers and so far there is no Activate version for Debian based Linux distributions planed.

    I was trying to run the windows version under Wine in linux.

    Steps for running Activate under Wine(5.0.3) :

    1. go to the installation folder of activate within the wine directory

    2. type in "wine cmd"

    3. type in "start Activate.bat"

    So far it is not possible to drag the blocks. Neither it is possible to use python, Activate will crash.

    I am trying to get a better understanding of wine and its features to make it run better.
