Studio 2024 activation failed online, offline too

Hi there,
I have recently purchased Studio 2024 as an upgrade from Studio 2022.
I went to my RWS account to upgrade the licence and my activation code was updated. Then, I used the activation code as per your demo video online.
The activation failed, the message indicating that "no licences are currently available for the specified activation code. Open connection settings"
After several attempts and restarts, the product licence is now showing as "in use", so it is no longer available. See below for details.
Users1 In Use1 Available0
Order: 859343 
Activated: 26-11-2025 Expiry
Date: No expiry date
I then reset the licence to follow the alternative offline activation procedure, but received the following message : "Failed to validate offline. The specified activation certificate may not be
valid. Validate your activation certificate against the certificate in your account".
I am back to square one, with my licence showing as being "in use" again. I need help as my number of resets is about to expire...
Can you please help and provide an alternative activation method that will work for me?
Many thanks,
Hervé

  • Thank you for your help. A special character in my computer name may have led to the generation of an incorrect activation code. Following our exchanges, I renamed my computer and generated a separate activation ID using the Wechoid application ( I had to download it). I then used it this newly generated ID to activate my version of Studio 2024 using the offline activation mode.

    In my situation, the article that provided the successful solution was this one : gateway.rws.com/csm

    I hope this can help other users facing similar issues. You may consider a way to avoid generating incorrect activation codes for peole with accents or special characters in their names or in their computer names. People in the translation industry are likely to use such names.

    All the best

    Hervé
