CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi,

MBPro M1 Silicon on MacOS v13
Installed Crossover 22.0.1
Installed Accuterm 8.0.1127

On the accuterm activation:
-Contacting License Server
-Failed to get validation response from license server

Confirmed the bottle has internet access. I read some of the older threads about Activation issues, not applicable here.

Thanks.

I realize that this is a specific Application use case, but the fix is related to an issue with Crossover. The Dev had submitted a bug report on this to CodeWeavers but it didn't go anywhere. Here's the fix from Pete:

*The problem with connecting with the license server is related to underlying support for http connections. AccuTerm can use two different services that Windows provides (winhttp and msxml2), defaulting to winhttp. For some reason, winhttp does not work under Wine, however, msxml2 works fine. The fix is to disable the Wine version of winhttp.dll so AccuTerm will fall back to msxml2. The registry entry to disable winhttp is included in the application configuration (crosstie) that CrossOver uses to install AccuTerm. However, in recent versions of CrossOver, this override does not appear to work anymore. I submitted a ticket to CodeWeavers about this, and got nowhere.

The workaround is to disable winhttp.dll for the entire bottle, instead of specifically for AccuTerm. If you can open a command prompt for the bottle where you have AccuTerm installed, you can use regedit to enter the override manually.

Registry key = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides
Value name = winhttp
Value data =

Basically create a new string value named ‘winhttp’ at the above key without any data.*
