2021 crashes permanently / 2014 License does not work

I have a Studio 2021 licence. This version has various problems, the main of which is that it crashes permanently, without any error notice, it just shuts down. Another is that it 'hangs' no reaction at all. In this case, the tast manager says that it is 'paused' (for whatever reason)I work with win 10, i5 core 16 Gb Ram

Not only that this circumstances are much annoying, they cost me a lot of time while I am under pressure with my jobs anyway. I am really fed up and I regret that I have bought a rather expensive product that is not working properly (Beta?)

So, I installed the 2014 version again. This one runs smoothly but it does not accept my licence and I work as a trial version only (although I have a plus version and on my laptop this one works well.)

To sum up, 2021 is not working properly and cannot be used on a professional basis. 2014 can still be used, but is outdated and does not accept a valid licence. I am already starting to ask colleagues about their experiences with other CAT tools and I consider a provider change (which, honestly I do not really want after more thamn 10 years SDL (SDLX, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2019, 2021)

I hope you will help me with ALL those issues immediately.

  • Hello

    When Studio shuts down for no apparent reason, then I think its worthwhile taking a look at the possible reasons why this might be happening.

    As you mention 2014 runs smoothly (I note that you activated this version to day, so it shouldn't be running in trial mode) then it would be helpful if you told us what Operating System you are running.

    You can also reset easily any older activations that are no longer available-

    Screenshot of SDL Trados Studio licensing page, showing an activated license for Trados Studio 2019 Freelance Plus with a green checkmark indicating 'Product is active'.

    Similar cases I have seen in the past, have been resolved by updating the OS and drivers and adding Studio to your AV providers 'exceptions list'

    Also knowing where the files/projects/resources are stored (locally or external drive/cloud etc.) often helps us find what is causing issues).

    The more information you can provide as to when this happens the better- such as when exactly does Studio shutdown-Opening Studio? Project creation/mid project

    You will find helpful Wiki's that will help you ensure everything is up-to date here- (Operating System/Drivers/Studio and MultiTerm)

  • Hi Steven,

     

    I have now done all these steps (parts 1 and 2) and everything is updated and seemingly in best order. Still, Studio often ‘hangs’, with ‘keine Rückmeldung’ (no response) and it just closed once more.

    This time I have stored an error message which might help.

    Please advise.

    KR Ralf

  • Hello ,

    Please post the error into the community.

    Saving this as an xml and then attaching it to the thread (using the insert option) is the best way

  • Error message in Trados Studio indicating a memory read operation failed, with an instruction to click 'OK' to close the program.

    And here is the next error message, before Studio shut down.

  • It shuts down every 15-20 minutes and this is the only 'help' (=0.00 - zero) I get... I am fed up. SDL only sells expensive and defective software wit no support.

    Does anyone have experiences with memoQ or Across? Any recommendation will be apprecited. Thanks everyone!

  • Apologies for the delay in getting you a response.  Your ticket is in the queue and should be addressed tomorrow.
