Hi Jose,

I just want to add to what Alison already suggested. Yes, you can deactivate and reactivate the Studio software as many times as required. However as the best practise please allow at least 30 minutes after deactivation on one computer and reactivation on the other. That time is needed for the servers to catch up. Please note that with PLUS version you can also use one of the activations and keep the second one for emergency situations such as PC breakdown.

I had a look at your SDL account and noted that your FREE SDL Studio 2017 upgrade has not yet been processed.

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 (2015) FREELANCE license on the same machine as Studio 2017-

PLEASE DO NOT deactivate the actual license in Studio-

ONLY process the upgrade in your account. A deactivated license cannot be reset!

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

Thank you,

Roman

Can you confirm that, as Alison Field said, there are absolutely no limitations applying to transferring a license back and forth between two computers (I have just acquired a new desktop, but I will still occasionally need to use my laptop to work abroad)?

None whatsoever, you can deactivate/activate as many times as you like.  But if you only have two computers a Freelance Plus licence might make sense so you don't have do this.  If you forget it's a bit of a nuisance!
