Additional Comments

I had to downgrade from wine version 1.7.19 to 1.7.16 for Layout Plus to properly parse the license file. Don't know why but license file parsing stopped working since wine version 1.7.17. Other problem I noticed, that also happens under native Windows 7 and Windows 8 (e.g. not Wine, but a real Windows 7 or Windows 8 box): running Capture causes processes cdsMsgServer and cdsNameServer programs to continuously execute and exit in an infinite loop, taking 100% CPU. Workaround for this problem: once you are running Capture, open a terminal and run these two commands (you might need to run them twice): $ killall cdsMsgServer $ killall cdsNameServer These processes will die, you'll get your CPU back and everything will work just fine.
