My solution for the activation problem was editing the config.xml in the ProPlus.WW folder. I have added the following element for showing the key dialog in installation:

<Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1"/>

I finally got it to work. I just completly removed Playonliux and Wine. Then I reinstalled and it worked perfectly. I have done this before with no success I am not sure why it worked this time.

I also had success by setup of the Config.xml file. I copied the CD to a local directory so I could edit it and installed from there. When I got the key wrong (mistook a V for a Y etc) then PlayOnLinux reports that Wine has crashed during the install. Once correct it installed OK.

This is what my Standard.WW/Config.xml file looks like (sans actual key value, of course)...

<Configuration Product="Standard">
    <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> 
    <PIDKEY Value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
    <Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1"/>
</Configuration>

 

I used the method from sblandford. After that I tried to use the online activation, but it failed. The error code saied that the internet-connection failed from within wine. Then I used the telephone-activation and that worked. It is activated now. Thanks.
