5. Once all done return to licenses tab where the 2022 license code will appear.

PLEASE NOTE:

When upgrading, SDL allow you to continue using your previous version under certain criteria*** - allowing a smooth migration process to the latest version.

If you wish to keep the previous (2019) FREELANCE license on the same machine as Studio 2022 or on a separate one -

PLEASE DO NOT deactivate the actual license in Studio-

Only process the upgrade in your RWS account. A deactivated license cannot be reset!

You may continue to use the legacy version until-

-you attempt to migrate the software to a new PC/ cloud storage etc.

-deactivate the license (intentionally or by mistake)

-upgrade your OS

Please note that all your work in Trados Studio is saved locally on your PC. You will need to transfer your files from your old PC to a new one, simply copy and move them over. Once Trados Studio is activated on your new PC, you can easily upload your files again.

Kind regards,
