How to install Trados 2019 alongside Trados 2021 in a new computer after upgrading?

Almudena Rivas Villanueva

Hi,

I purchased a Trados 2019 freelance plus license which included the Trados 2021 upgrade. I have a laptop and a desktop. Trados 2019 is currently installed on my laptop and I wanted to upgrade to 2021 have both versions side by side. My desktop is in storage, so I don't have any Trados versions installed on it yet.

I was going to proceed with the upgrade, so I went to my profile and selected the "upgrade" option, however, when I got to the last page of the upgrade process I canceled it because of this warning:

"Upgrading means the license(s), indicated below on the left, will be removed and will be replaced with the license(s) shown on the right. This process can not be reversed."

I understand from this message that from this point onwards I will no longer have a Trados 2019 license but a Trados 2021 license instead. So, how could I install the second copy of Trados 2019 that comes with the freelance plus package I originally bought, and activate it on my desktop when I get it back (it would have to be an installation from scratch) if I upgrade now to Trados 2021? I understand I will lose my Trados 2019 license in favor of a Trados 2021 one, so, do I need to wait to install and activate Trados 2019 on my desktop first before upgrading? or is there any other way?

Thanks,

Regards

    Hello ,

    As you have the PLUS version, you are as you know able to install and activate the software on TWO machines at any given time.

    In this case , simply ensure you first update Studio 2019 to the latest stand and then download and install Studio 2021 on the same PC.

    Now when you process the license upgrade in your SDL account, you will receive a new activation code for Studio 2021.

    This activation will also activate Studio 2019 (as long as both versions are oin the same machine) allowing you to complete any ongoing projects in 2019 and start new projects in Studio 2021.

    When you want to start using the second machine, simply install Studio 2021 (as you wont need 2019 at all) and activate as normal using the same activation code.
