Voyager use on Linux and Windows
 
#1
0  
Every time I switch between UbuntuLinux (under wine) and windows xp or vice versa I have to reactivate my voyager installation. Consecutive uses on the same platform are OK. Installation on a 8 gb usbstick on Fat32.
Has anybody a fix for this?

Maybe not a pure the bat problem but if someone else uses voyager as only mailclient on different platforms a solution for the activation under wine.

Even if usb is formatted in FAT32, wine shows it internally as NTFS, so start with a NTFS formatted usbstick.
Windows, go to terminal (cmd) change to volume where your usb is mounted, in this case I:, and type dir
You will see:

I:\>dir
Name of volume in  station I is EMAIL8GB
Number is 58BA-7DB8

Create file .windows-serial in root usb with sole entry the volume number without the hyphen: 58BA7DB8

create file .windows-label in root usb with sole entry volume name, in this example EMAIL8GB

Activate on windows, and voyager will retain volume number when started through wine under linux and will not request a second activation any more.

Tested with wine 1.5.16 ubuntu 12.04 voyager 5.1.6.5
