I have a SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance Plus license. I use SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance on my main PC.
I bought a new laptop last week, and I tried to activate SDL Trados Studio 2017 with the Extra activation code I have on my new laptop.
I could not activate it. I received the following error message:
Activation failed. The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
Here is a screenshot of the error message:
Here is a screenshot of my license page:
I should be able to activate it on my new laptop using the same license code. Why does the extra activation not work? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
