Excuse me Please:

I would ask for some understanding on what recently occurred with my CO install.
it stopped being "Paid/Registered" and seemingly has reverted to Trial.

please to note pictures:

(and the numbers are decrementing)
which then I press the [Register] button to re-input my license information; nothing happens but the following:

and then am able to run the program i initially launched.

as none of the CW pages indicated i was RENTING the software,
and that only "future updates" would be limited, thus, i purchased, and expected to continue to be able to use this software.
was i deceived?

how screwed would i be were this install happen to be OFFLINE,.. with no further access to the Internet; then everything stops working because,...

What need one do to repair this software that I may continue to use it?

currently researching, as new insight suggests a problem with a particular Bottle.

ok. it seems I, in my ignorance, was the reason for the "expiration" of the Bottle.
while wrestling with NWN-EE, i unknowingly DELETED the z:\ drive from under Wine Configuration/Drives tab.

upon performing the following "repair" the formerly affected Bottle is no longer prompting for expiration.

[Wine Configuration] Drives tab

Letter: Target folder:
Z /
path: /
type: autodetect
device: "auto-populated"
serial: "auto-populated"

if no Z: drive, hit [Add...] button, select Z, Ok, Ok.

"repair" should be in effect, with no further "expired" prompts.

OH!
as an after-thought.
if Z:/ is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pivotal, ought there be some safe-guards to limit/prevent its deletion?
