Hello Michael Schroeder 

Studio 2021 will be automatically activated when the Trial period will expire (if the conditions from this article are met): https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=000018947

If it will not work we will log a support case for you and investigate.

Thank you,

Thank you for the information!

Just for clarification, does this mean that I cannot have an instance of 2022 and an instance of 2021 open at the same time?

I'm pretty sure this was possible before. Is there a fix in the works?

Hello Michael Schroeder 

That`s possible only for Freelance licenses, if they are not deactivated before the upgrade. For all other types of licenses it is necessary to deactivate the license in order to process the upgrade.

The only way to run both versions simultaneously is to purchase separate licenses for each version, not an upgrade. 

Thank you,

Sorin

OK thanks for your reply!
