Questions About Upgrading License Server Manager to Version 17 for Trados 2019 Users

Question

We have a Trados 2019 Professional (Network SN) license for 11 users and need to update our License Server Manager to Version 17. We have a few questions and would appreciate your insights: 
 
 Will upgrading the License Server Manager directly cause any issues for devices still running Trados 2019? 
 Our plan is to upgrade the License Server Manager and test it with available licenses first. If it works, we'll release the in-use licenses, update them, and reassign. Does this approach sound feasible? 
 How much downtime should we expect during the License Server Manager update? 
 
 Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Sarathi Kamaraj 
 If you`re going to upgrade, I recommend to upgrade to the latest version of License Manager: https://downloadcentercdn.sdl.com/TP/Trados/T2024/Licensing/RTM/LicenseServerManager18.0.79.exe 
 1-3. If you have an older version of License Manager you need to uninstall it and then install the latest version of License Manager. This will cause a downtime for the users, normally it shouldn`t be longer than 5-10 minutes. If this is the case you need to deactivate the licenses before doing that. 
 2. Yes, your plan sounds good. If you have any issues when trying to deactivate the licenses I will log a support case for you. 
 Thank you, 
 Sorin
