I have a freelance plus license for Trados 2017. I have it insalled and activated on 2 computers. I recently bought a new computer and want to deactivate the license on one of my current computers, and re-use the license on my new computer. But, when I try to deactivate using the online method, I get an error saying that there is a mismatch on a "lock file". And, when I try to deactivate offline, I get an error saying that my certificate, which I copied from my SDL Trados account web page, is invalid. I am certain that I copied and pasted the certificate properly, so this error is not my fault.
I cannot deacctive the llicense on my old computer and so I am unable to use Trados on my new computer. What is the solution?
