Activation

As of wine 7.20 chessbase 11 accepts the activation code on the main screen and stops prompting for a code when you restart. Something is still not quite right as the admin tool still thinks it's unregistered.

Thus 41309 and 41350 can be removed from chessbase 11. I'm assuming the same issue is fixed in CBLight 2009 and ChessBase 12 but I don't have that software to test.

Now that (free) ChessbaseReader is supported since wine 7.20 (en.chessbase.com/pages/download) many of the reported bugs can be tested using that since there is a lot of overlap.
If registration issues are fixed, there is no reason this couldn't become Gold, although the repaint issue when using Stockfish as a kibitzer can greatly limit utility as a user.
Also this software is over 10 years old, so much interest in future will focus around being able to run newer versions (likely to suffer from many of he same bugs), but see registration problems reported in later versions meaning workarounds are needed.
