Unable to deactivate or reset license in order to change computers

Hello. I tried to click on 'Deactivate license' on the pop-up window to this effect, and got an error message (cannot connect to product activation). I tried to 'Reset licence' (there were two previous reset dates) and that failed too.

I need to install Trados (single-user freelance version of 2019) on my new computer. 

How do I go about that, given these error messages?

Thanks in advance, Monica Sandor

  • Hi Elisa, I know but I did not receive anything. So now I downloaded SDL Trados Studio 2019 on my new computer, clicked on activate licence, pasted in the licence key, and get the same error message as before - 'unable to connect to server' (see screenshot). In other words, though your kind intervention deactivated the old licence, there is still a problem connecting to the server. I logged in to my account and the licence key is there, indicating there is 1 available, so the issue is not there.

    Screenshot of SDL Trados Studio 2019 activation error message stating 'Activation failed. Could not connect to the activation server. Check the activation server address in the provider settings. - The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.'
