Did you also buy the "AutoSuggest Creator add-on"? The standard Studio Freelance version does not include the capability to create AutoSuggest dictionaries unless you also purchase this add-on. If you did, you should see a separate activation code in your customer account, which you can use to activate the add-on.

On the other hand, I would not worry because the 2015 version has an improved AutoSuggest feature (AutoSuggest 2.0), which basically makes the creation of a seperate AutoSuggest dictionary redundant because it now makes sub-segment suggestions directly from your TM.

About the second activation: when you purchased the upgrade, did you upgrade again to the Plus version (the one with two activations)? If you did and you do not see two activations in your customer account, submit a support ticket by going to support.xl8.one.

Hi Paola,

I think the answer is that Studio and Trados has always distinguished between the features normally required by a freelance translator and those required by an LSP or a larger organisation.  This has always been achieved by having a distinction between the Freelance and the Professional version.  This article explains the differences (even if it is for 2014... can't find an updated one):

I guess, in practical terms, zipping up a project is no different to creating a package.  The main differences between the two are these:

• create a package and you can track who the files in the package are sent to
• updating from a return package automates the updating of the project
• creating a package supports adding of additional resources and generation of statistics

There may be other small things but in general I see these as being useful to someone who is working as an LSP or a Translation Team in a larger organisation.  Not really features for a freelance translator who might share work with colleagues from time to time.  It's really all about automation.

Why do you need to be able to create a package?  What does this do for you that you could not achieve another way?

What other missing features are there in the Freelance version for you?

Regards

Paul
