Unable to activate my Trados Studio 2019 Plus license on a new device

Hi guys,

I've bought a new Dell laptop running Windows 11 but I've not been able to activate my Trados Studio 2019 Plus license on it. Since I've got the Plus license, I suppose I'm allowed to activate it in additional devices, though I'm getting the following error message when trying to do so:

Error dialog box showing 'Activation failed. Could not connect to the activation server. Check the activation server address in the provider settings. - O servidor remoto retornou um erro: (403) Proibido.' with an OK button.

Please note that before you ask me to do the offline activation, I can assure you that I've also tried to do this, but the thing is that the required Activation Certificate is not available in my RWS account as you can see in the screenshot below:

RWS Licensing page showing 'Activation Date: 30-01-2020', 'Unique Activation ID' field, 'Activation State: Deactivation Initiated', a blurred 'Activation Authorization' code, and an empty 'Deactivation Certificate' field with a 'Confirm Offline Deactivation' button.

Could you please support me solve this issue? 

Thank you in advance!

  • Hi Sorin!

    I was contacted by email and informed that my license code has been reset. Though please note that the activation issue persists on my new laptop and I still get the activation error message mentioned above.

    I am sorry but I do not know what else I can do on my side, as I assume the issue has something to do with the activation server, and I'm also afraid I'll not be able to use my Trados Studio license on my new device.

    I'm looking forward for your follow up on my issue.

    Thank you in advance.
