Is using apps for Windows through Wine and Winetricks legit?

Hello!

I would like to ask a question about using my license of FL Studio on Linux. Since FL Studio requires to be on Windows or Mac, I want to use it through Wine on Linux.

The question is: is using it that way (through Wine) prohibiting by Microsoft Terms? Just to be sure all is ok from Microsoft's side. Because I have to use fonts from Winetricks and as I understood - this fonts is from Windows.

    Running Windows applications through Wine/Winetricks is legal, but you must ensure that the application itself is licensed to do so.
