Impossible to activate Trados Studio 2024, after upgrading from Trados Studio 2021

Hello,

I have been trying for several hours to activate my new permanent Trados Studio 2024 freelance plus licence (Trados Studio 2024 SR1).

First online, but I got this error message:

Trados Studio 2024 SR1 activation window showing an error message in French: 'L'activation a  chou .  chec de l'installation d'une cha ne de licence RMS. ID d'erreur: 210150. Ouvrir les param tres de connexion ?' with options 'Oui' and 'Non'.

So then I tried the offline activation procedure, following these steps: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0039784

After several tries, I managed to get an activation certificate but when entering it into Trados, I got another error message:

Trados Studio 2024 SR1 offline activation window displaying an error message in French: 'Erreur.  chec de la validation hors ligne. Le certificat d'activation sp cifi  n'est peut- tre pas valide. Validez votre certificat d'activation avec le certificat disponible sur votre compte.' with an 'OK' button.

I made several more tries, resetting the licence in between to be able to generate an offline activation certificate. Nothing worked, and now it tells me that I cannot reset the licence anymore.

I'm totally stuck here, please help.

Thank you in advance,

Andrea
