license for trial version unavailable

Question

Hello, I've just downloaded the trial version of Trados but the program won't run unless I provide an activation code. There are no licenses available in my SDL account. Could anybody help me, please?

You don't need any activation code to run the software. If you install the software on a PC, on which Studio was never installed before, it will run for 30 days as a Professional version. It should tell you this when you launch the software (You have 30 days left ...), simply hit the "Continue" button to access the program. 
Only once these 30 days are over, you will need to enter an activation code. 
 
If you don't get this message, you probably installed the SW on a PC on which it had already been installed once before, in which case you won't get the trial period again.
