License for Trados 2017, upgraded from Freelance 2015

Hi there,

 

I have updated my SDL Trados Studio 2015 Freelance in September 2016 (having bought it in Sept. '15), and qualify for a free upgrade to Studio 2017. I downloaded 2017 and need to activate the license for 2017. Do I need a ticket?

Thanks

 

-Seb

 

  • Hi Seb,

     

    Please log in to your SDL account to process the payment online using your Credit/Debit Card or PayPal (if not already done so).


    Please read the following notes and guidance when upgrading your FREELANCE (2009/2011/2014/2015) license(s)

    When upgrading your current (freelance) license(s) to SDL Studio 2017 FL (PLUS)-

    -SDL will allow you to continue working on current projects in the legacy (Studio 2009/2011/2014/2015) versions- before migrating to Studio 2017 permanently.

     

    To facilitate this- simply upgrade your license(s) via your SDL account only (as shown below)-but DO NOT deactivate/return your current Studio license from within the software!!!

     

    UPGRADE PROCESS

     

    1. Log in to your SDL Account
    2. Click on ‘LICENSES’
    3. Locate and click on the banner at the top of the page ‘Upgrades Available…….
    4. Process the upgrade…
    5. Download/Install and activate (using the new 2017 license code)

     

    You will now be able to continue using both your legacy version and the new Studio 2015 software until-

    -you either deactivate (intentionally or through hardware failure etc.) or try to move the legacy versions (Studio 2009/2011/2014/2015) to a different machine etc.

     

    The images below are indicative of the general upgrade process and not specifically to your personal licence version.

    Just log in to your account and you will see a similar image- just click
