Hi Irene,

I have had a look at your account and your original license under order 119555 was upgraded to SDL Trados 2007 Suite Freelance, under order 159774. Your SDL Trados 2007 Suite Freelance license was then upgraded to SDL Trados Studio 2014.

During the upgrade process for both of these licenses, your original licenses were automatically removed from the account and replaced with your new license. The Downloads for the two older licenses are still available in the Downloads section of your account under Archived Product Updates.

As these licenses have been automatically removed from your account, these are no longer available to be used. When SDL Trados Studio 2014 is downloaded, this does include SDL Trados 2007 as part of the legacy component.

The SDL Trados Studio 2009 Starter license that you refer to in your post, was added to your account as a free 6 month trial back in 2010.

Kind Regards

Helen

I need Trados 2007 because many of my clients still use this version and also because I have purchased these licences.

Hi Irene,

Two things here. The first one is that just because your clients use Trados doesn't mean you have to.  It is perfectly posible to work with your clients using Studio.  If you have questions specifically relating to how to do this we can help you with that.

The second thing is that you purchased Trados and then exchanged them for Studio based on the price you paid.  So in effect no longer own them.  If you were to partexchange a car you wouldn't expect to keep the old car... same principle here I think.  I have no idea what happened with older versions but it entirely depends what the deal was at the time.  However, I will pass this onto the sales team and see what can be done, in the meantime I think you should investigate working without Trados... you may be surprised.

Regards
