I just purchased Trados Studio 2021 Freelance but I didn't receive any license neither via mail neither on my account online

On my account it says no licenses but I have purchased it and I have the e-mail order. But it doesn't contain any license. Why please? How can I activate it please? Thank you

  • Hello Karin,

    When you purchase an upgrade, you still need to process it in order to get the license for Studio 2021.

    To process your upgrade- please follow the below steps: 

    1. Log in into your SDL account 
    2. Please go to Products & Plans 
    3. Please click on Licenses 
    4. On this page there will appear a blue box on top of the page with the message‚ 'You have 1 available upgrade’ - please click on the blue box

    SDL account page showing Products & Plans tab, Licenses sub-tab, and a blue notification box stating 'You have 1 upgrade available. Click here to upgrade your licenses'.


    5.On the next page appearing please click on the upgrade button 

    Upgrade Licenses page with a table showing 'Upgrade From SDL Trados Studio 2015 Professional' to 'SDL Trados Studio 2017 Professional' with a quantity of 1 and a 'Process Upgrade' button.


    6. Once this process is done please click again on the Licenses tab and the license code of your 2021 version will appear 

    PLEASE NOTE: 

    When upgrading, SDL allows you to continue using your previous version under certain criteria***- allowing a smooth migration process to the latest version.

    If you wish to keep the previous (2011/2014/2015/2017) FREELANCE license on the same machine as Studio 2021- 

    PLEASE DO NOT deactivate the actual license in Studio- 

    ONLY process the upgrade in your account. A deactivated license cannot be reset!

     

    ***Applicable only to freelance licenses

    You may continue to use the legacy version until-

     

    -you attempt to migrate the software to a new PC/ cloud storage etc.

    -deactivate the license (intentionally or by mistake)

    -upgrade your OS

    -reformat your hard drive
