Can't find activation code after upgrade to Studio 2015

Question

Hello, I've updated to Studio 2015 but can't find the activation code so I can't start work! Could someone please tell me where to find it? It's probably really obvious but I've spent a long time looking and reading guides, FAQs, etc., and still can't find it! Thanks in advance :)

Hi Karen,

To process your upgrade- please log in to your SDL account- LICENSES 
 
Once logged in and on the licenses tab you will see a gold coloured banner at the top of the page- 
 
Simply click into this banner (upgrades available) to process the upgrade.

PLEASE NOTE: 
 
When upgrading, SDL allow you to continue using your previous version under certain criteria***- allowing a smooth migration process to the latest version. 
 
If you wish to keep the previous (2009/2011/2014) FREELANCE license on the same machine as Studio 2015- 
 
PLEASE DO NOT deactivate the actual license in Studio- 
 
ONLY process the upgrade in your account. A deactivated license cannot be reset!

***Applicable only to freelance licenses 
 
You may continue to use the legacy version until-

-you attempt to migrate the software to a new PC/ cloud storage etc. 
 
-deactivate the license (intentionally or by mistake) 
 
-upgrade your OS 
 
-reformat your hard drive

If you wish to keep your legacy license permanently, you will need to purchase a new license and NOT an upgrade.

Kind regards, 
 
Roman
