Licence activation issue

Hi everyone,

I am trying to activate my SDL Trados Studio 2021 Freelance licence, but I am getting this error message:

"Cette édition de licence ne fonctionne pas sur des réseaux basés sur un domaine"

(This licence edition does not work on domain based networks)

I am installing on my personal computer and private home network ..

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

    Even though you are not connected to the corporate network the Freelance license can be activated only if the computer has been disconnected from Domain Network.
    Leaving a domain has significant consequences for the machine and should be discussed with your IT department.

    If you believe that the computer is not part of a domain, follow these steps to verify the connection to a domain:

    1. Go to Control Panel > System.
    2. In Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, check whether there is a Domain entry.

    If you are certain that your computer should not be part of a domain, but you found a Domain entry, you can leave the domain following these additional steps:

    1. Close SDL Trados Studio
    2. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change settings
    3. Click Change
    4. Under Member of, select Workgroup
    5. Select a workgroup name and confirm
    6. Start SDL Trados Studio
