Problem to deactivate/reactivate Studio 2017 when changing PC – offline deactivation ticket

Hi, I bought a new PC and I'm trying to deactivate the license for "SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance" on the old computer and activate it on the new one. I tried the option “Can't activate online? – Get an offline Activation Certificate” because it seemed to be the only one available.
My problem is that Studio 2017 is now still indicated as “In use” on my account on sdl.com, but on the old computer the license is “expired”, while on the new computer I only have access to the trial version and my activation key does not work.
I received the following email:


“Your Offline deactivation ticket
Dear Customer,
Please find below your offline deactivation ticket.
This ticket can be used by your SDL Product to perform an offline deactivation
Offline deactivation ticket:
[long string of 612 alphanumeric characters with == at the end]
– The SDL Language Solutions team”


I don’t understand what to do with it.
I suppose that I have to insert this deactivation ticket string somewhere, but I have no idea where.
Can somebody help me, please?
Thanks

Marion
