"this license edition does not work on domain-based networks"

I have a license of Trados Studio 2021 Freelance Plus and had been using Trados when working remotely from home.  Now I need to work in the office and when trying to install Trados in my office computer, this message "this license edition does not work on domain-based networks" pops out. I know I probably need an upgrade to get a professional license but am wondering how the upgrade can be done and how much this might cost. Can someone please advise? Many thanks in advance.

  • HI  

    You are seeing this message because Trados Studio 2021 Freelance Plus is not compatible with computers that are part of a domain-based (corporate) network.

    The Freelance edition is specifically designed for individual translators who work on their personal or home devices. Unfortunately, it does not support domain-based networks typically utilized in corporate environments.

    This limitation is a built-in aspect of the licensing to differentiate it from the Professional edition, which does allow use in domain environments.

    If possible, please use a personal laptop or a computer that is not connected to your company’s domain (such as a standalone workstation) to continue utilizing your Freelance license.
