Installation of "SDL Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack" Does Not Work

SDL Studio 2021.
Install "SDL Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack".
Installation completes with no fail message.
But Plug-in does not appear under "Installed plug-ins".
And "Additional Installed File Types exist" does not appear under "File Types".
No option for translation of TTX files.

Any suggestions?

    I was told I can do this with "Update Translation Memories" (which, anyway, I cannot understand if it is actually part of the Power Pack I installed but cannot see in the plug-in list)

    Yes... we cleverly disguise this by giving two different features the same name ;-)

    Out of the box you have this one:

    Trados Studio menu with an arrow pointing to 'Upgrade Translation Memory' option.

    This essentially prepares it for taking advantage of enhanced features such as fragment matching and match repair as well as reindexing etc.:

    Upgrade Translation Memory progress window showing steps completed with 'Align Translation Units' in progress.

    The "plugin", puts this one in:

    Trados Studio toolbar with an arrow pointing to 'Upgrade Translation Memories' button.

    This one is there to really "upgrade" your memories.  So you can add whatever supported formats we have (I used mdb, tmw, txt, tmx and sdltm in thi screenshot) in any language direction:

    Upgrade Translation Memories window with a list of input translation memories and their details.

    And create new TMs, even merging them together based on language pair:

    Upgrade Translation Memories window showing output translation memories organized by language pairs.

    So out of those 11 TMs I added I'll have four.  This was a little used and extremely useful feature that the "plugin" puts back.
