Can I open IDM using wine in ubuntu if i had IDM already installed in windows(dual booted)? if yes, how?
1
I have windows and Ubuntu operating systems i.e. dual booted on my laptop, and I have installed wine latest version. I already have IDM installed in windows.
How can I use it or open it in ubuntu. I know I can install it from wine new setup but I don't wanna install it again(trial version) when I have full version in windows. Is there any way?

No, there isn't. OSes in dual- or multi-boot are totally independent. And you don't need IDM, there are dozens of native alternatives. Native software is always preferable.

The software is already available in the Ubuntu official repositories and it can be installed like any other software. The Ubuntu Software app should always be you first stop when searching for software. Once installed open it and adjust the settings (if I remember correctly it can replace Firefox's download feature or just be started independently by pressing shift while clicking the link; also - I think - it places an additional option in the right-click menu).

If i install IDM under wine then is there any change occurs in windows IDM soft? Because i don't want to change the IDM in Windows.
– R.Bansal

No, but still would be easier to install an alternative. I use wine a lot, and almost never easy to install random stuff. So almost every program i want to run/install require me to make some adjusts.
