STUDIO 2014 does not recognize packages with the usual package icon but with the grey planet icon

Hello Team

My name is Karanikas Konstantinos (62831) and here is the history of problems so far:

At some point last week I decided to buy STUDIO 2015 last week.

Before doing that I contacted Licensing dept. to return 1 remaining license of the 2 I had, since last year the second PC was destroyed after a power failure. I never had the chance to do it before so I thought it would be a good ides to do that first before installing STUDIO 2015. So I was notified that it was reset.

Up to this point both 2014 and 2015 versions were working fine, although STUDIO 2015 was working as a trial version (and did not like the look of it, UI (colors, icons) etc.).

My licences section did not show I purchased a freelance license/download/installed 2015.

I tried to activate the product but this was not possible since it did not appear in my purchased products list and, therefore, I had no activation code.

If you look up my licences section now it shows the following:

For SDL Trados Studio 2014 Freelance Plus: Users 1 - 1* , In use 0 - 0, Available 1 - 1*

For SDL Trados Studio 2015 Freelance: there is still no entry for the product !

I did not bother until Monday, when I had some other problems:

I use a MacMini computer with Windows 10 installed using Bootcamp. At one point, I had to restart Windows which did not work since my computer always started on Mac mode instead of letting me chose the mode as usual, I discovered that the were new software updates to be installed (although the automatic updates installation button in Settings was set to OFF). The updates were installed successfully but still I could not log in Windows. Since I never lay hand on software settings, I sent the machine to the technician for Bootcamp updating etc. I got it back yesterday, I am a happy man now since he changed the configuration so that Windows is logged in upon booting.

I had to use STUDIO today so I opened the new 2015 version and decided to uninstall it since I would not be using it (I did not like the looks of it) and would be going back to 2014 version.

Then, I tried to open STUDIO 2014 and tried to import the customer's package, but (and here is my problem now) the package does not look like a package any more, its icon is the grey planet icon used by TRADOS and the extension is .sdlppx. For some reason it is not recognized as a package any more.

Hence, importing is not possible.

Would you be able to solve this for me please ?

Thank you very much in advance !

Konstantinos
