Upgrading from Trados Studio 2021 to 2024 while translation packages are out?

Yvonne Rezbach

`Hello,

we have bought Studio 2024 and I wonder how to best go about the upgrade from Professional 2021 SR2. Is it fully compatible so I can import the return packages in 2024 for translation packages that were created with Studio 2021? 

I just don't seem to find a slot where nothings out there ;-)

Or can I have 2021 and 2024 installed in parallel for a while? We are working on premise, switching from a single license to a floating license model with 2024, but that shoulnd't be a problem, should it.

Can you maybe share your experiences with compatibility or are there preliminary actions we should take before upgrading?

Thank you!

Yvonne

    I'd recommend you don't return your licence for 2021.  Just run it in parallel to 2024 until you have completed all your open projects in 2021.

    In theory there should not be a problem, but I think it makes sense to be cautious and finish your open projects in the tools they started with.

    While these are very wise words and precaution is better than cure, I never really have had any problems with changing versions of Trados Studio. It happened many times to me to switch from one major version to the next one during even a big job. So for working with the projects it should not make any difference. But finalising projects may indeed be a big problem, while the file type definitions do change often between versions.
