Hi,
I don't seen an option to open a Package received from a client in SDL Trados Live. What am I missing?

I am very disappointed, because I spent a lot of money to purchase Trados studio plus Live and now I learn that I CANNOT work with packages, which make the majority of my jobs.

Well... you paid for Trados Studio and we provided Trados Live at no additional cost. You can still open your packages in Studio, you just can't get them into the Cloud without some messing around. Trados Live is a Cloud product so you can expect that it will be updated in the future with all the functionality you're looking for. It's an evolving product... part of the reason why it's currently free.

I'm with Socratis here. I upgraded from Studio 2019 to 2021 exclusively because of the added Live functionality (none of the other changes would have convinced me to upgrade). Had I known Live didn't support packages, I would've waited to upgrade until it did.

Sorry hear you get no value whatsoever from the other changes in Trados Studio 2021. For me (personal opinion obviously!) the Trados Live part is the last bit that would have encouraged me to upgrade. This version solves many problems that users have had for years and there are many new apps that only work on 2021 that are well worth having.
But if you really want to handle the packages in the cloud now (which really does need to be supported... and it will soon) then you could do this:
I'm only suggesting this in case you're interested. It's quite a well managed process and if you really see value in using the Cloud for this then it's probably worth the effort.

... or just take the sdlxliff files out of the project you create when you open the package and create a new project in the cloud with them. Finally putting them back into the target folder in Studio when you've translated them.
So two fairly straightforward workarounds for now.
