wine 1.0
1348So, after many years in the making, version 1.0 of wine is released.
Can anyone say, whether it'll run Maple 12?

An educated guess
From Windows partition - definitely no.
Installing Windows version in Linux, with WineTools and a lot of tweaking, probably, possible - but what's the point, plus that may have some legal concerns.

platform support
Nor all products that work alongside Maple are available on all platforms. Examples of that can be found in the MapleConnect suite of add-ons. For example, it was true of the LabVIEW toolbox for Maple 11, I believe.
Or perhaps one might have custom commercial .dll's to work with, or some add-on to Matlab or another 3rd party tool which would only work on Windows and that one wished to connect to from Maple.
In those scenarios running Maple on Windows would be necessary in order to get the connectivity and 3rd party apps to all work. But for other usual Maple work one might well (!) want to work in a sane environment like Linux.
I'm unaware of any restriction with running a validly activated Maple on multiple virtual machines on the same host by the same user. If there were then I'd like to hear about it here.

Virtualization
The easiest way, probably, use one of virtual machines. Install Windows there, then Maple - at least I would do it that way.

PS I run into a problem with Mathematica trying to install it into a virtual machine on the same computer where I had it already installed. When I needed an activation code, I emailed them and received a responce with a form that I had to sign that I deleted the original installation - on the same computer - then, after signing that form, they would allow me to install it in the virtual machine. The most ridiculous thing related to that was that it was a complimentary copy of Mathematica that I got directly from Wolfram Research - well, at least I got 1 copy of it from them in contrast with Maplesoft which didn't send me any complimentary copies of Maple 12 (or 11) -Alec
PPS - When I mentioned legal problems above, I meant that installation of Windows version in plain Linux, not into a virtual machine, might have them - because it would require some things that could be considered as disassembling and reverse engineering. -Alec
