How to deactivate Trados license after new Windows installation

Hello,

Among other SDL products I also have a legacy "SDL Trados Studio 2014 Freelance Plus" license.

This license was active in an earlier Windows installation.

I had to make a new Windows installation, and I didn't deactivate the Trados license beforehand.

I don't see the "Reset License" option for this particular license in my RWS Account.

Please assist with the license deactivation.

Thank you.

  • Hello Elisa,

    I was able to reactivate the license. However, based on the information you provided, I am concerned that my license could eventually become unusable (and thus worthless) in the event of a future reinstallation.

    I purchased a license with "No expiry date". Since your company is still operational (and therefore can provide the licensing service), and this is an off-line installation, I expect standard functionality to be maintained. (From my understanding, the licensing technology was deliberately decommissioned by RWS, not due to vis maior circumstances.)

    Please advise how can I ensure, without additional costs, that my permanent license stays functional as long as I use compatible hardware & software.

    Thank you.
