Is it possible to run Studio 2017 on one computer and Studio 2022 on a second computer with a Trados Studio 2022 Freelance Plus licence?

Question

I own a Trados Studio 2022 Freelance Plus licence and have the following configuration:

1 old computer that runs Studio 2017. Because the computer is old, I don't want to upgrade to 2022.
1 new computer where I want to install Studio 2022.

If I process the upgrade to Studio 2022, what will happen to my Studio 2017 version? Will it run the next time I launch it (using the extra activation)?
I don't want to keep the Studio 2017 licence.

I know there are similar posts already in the community forum, but I think my issue is slightly different.

Thank you,
Stefan

Hello Stefan Kloeckner 
 When you process the upgrade the 2017 license will be removed from your account but Studio 2017 will still work on the old computer if you don`t deactivate it. 
 This will work until Studio 2017 gets deactivated for some reason (hard disk change, Ethernet Address change or other reasons). 
 On the new computer you can install Studio 2022 and activate it with the newly generated license for 2022. 
 Thank you Sorin

Thank you, Sorin. I could successfully install Studio 2022 and Multiterm. And Studio 2017 is still running on the old computer.
