Cannot activate my Trados Studio 2024 Professional (Network SN) license on my 2nd device

I currently have a Trados Studio 2024 Professional (Network SN) installed on my Mac (through Parallels). I would like to use my License on another Mac that I will be using while I am travelling. I followed the steps provided on community.rws.com/.../05-7-how-to-transfer-my-existing-licence-to-a-new-computer to deactivate the License on the “current” Mac and activate it on my “travel“ Mac. I used the option to “Use a License Server” to activate it, inserting the License server name I had set up for the my Trados Studio 2024 Professional (Network SN) account. However, I am unable to activate it.

In my travel Mac, I have an old personal Trados account, and it seems when I am trying to activate my Trados Studio 2024 Professional (Network SN), it tries to connect to the server of my old account. I tried inserting the correct license server name, but it does not work.

I get the following error: Cannot connect to the license server. Check that you have entered the correct license server name and that you have network access. Error Details: No connection to (LICENSE SERVER NAME).

I’d appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue or information on who I should contact for further support.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Check that you have entered the correct license server name and that you have network access. Error Details: No connection to redacted.
