wine users - Mar 2014 - Software Licensing Problem

I have installed the game Rail Baron using WineBottler running on OS X 10.9.2.
The program runs fine until I attempt to license it.

When registering that program gives me a code that I have to send to the
developer who in turn supplies a registration key. I enter the key and the
software says that it is successfully registered but when I start the program up
it starts up again as if it is not registered.

According to the developer a successfully registered version should have created
a <something>.LIC file in the same directory as the program executable (in
this case
~/Applications/rbp.app/Contents/Resources/wineprefix/drive_c/winebottler/) but
the file is not created.

I thought, at first, that it was a permissions issue, but I looked and the
winebottler directory has permissions rwxrwxrwx@ which seems right to me.

Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am told that others have gotten the
program to work properly, but I have not been given any names to contact.

Thanks,

Chuck

Are you sure you used WineBottler?  That application is or was VERY OLD.
I'll have to check this and see if the application has been updated.
