License Reset Limit Exceeded & Activation Support Needed for Trados Studio 2024

Hello RWS Community and Support,

I am writing to request assistance for a critical issue with my Trados Studio 2024 Freelance license. I am completely unable to activate and use the software.

Here is a summary of the repeated failures I have experienced:

Initial Activation Failure: My first attempt at online activation failed with the Korean error message: "유효성 확인에 실패하였습니다" (Validation failed).

Subsequent Failures: Further attempts, including using the offline activation method, also failed. I have run into a similar activation loop in the past.

License "In Use": My RWS Account page incorrectly shows my license as "1 of 1 in use," even though the software is not activated. I believe that after the online activation attempt while the activation failed on my computer it was registered on the server side.

License Reset Limit Reached: While trying to resolve this, I have now hit the annual limit of 3 self-service license resets and am completely blocked.

My Request for Assistance:

First, I request that an RWS Support member manually reset my license so it is available again.

Second, given that this is a recurring problem and not a one-time issue, I am concerned that simply resetting the license will not be enough and the activation will fail again. Therefore, I would also like to request direct assistance with the activation process on my computer to ensure it is successful and stable this time.

I would be very grateful if we could arrange a brief remote support session to complete the activation. I am available at your convenience.

I am ready to provide my RWS account details and activation code via a private message as soon as a staff member can assist.

Thank you for your time and help in fully resolving this issue.

  • Great news! I am writing to confirm that the activation was successful.

    Thank you for logging the second case and processing another license reset. As suspected, the root of the problem was the Korean characters in my PC's name.

    After I changed the computer name to English and you reset the license one last time, the online activation worked immediately without any errors.

    For anyone else who might encounter a similar "Validation failed" or "Error ID: 210150" message, I can confirm that changing a non-English computer name to English-only characters solved the issue completely.

    Thank you again for your prompt and patient assistance. This case is now resolved for me.

    Best regards,
