SDL Machine Translation issues

Question

Hello everyone, 
 Like many on here, I discovered a few days ago that SDL Machine Translation no longer works. It remains greyed out. And yes I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it after I upgraded to the latest version of Studio 2021. 
 
 I get this message when I select it, once I have entered my user credentials. However the system does not let me select a model or an MT Cloud Dictionnary. And when I proceed without assigning a model (because there are none in the drop down menu), I go back to the same greyed out SDL Machine Translation in my project settings. 
 Does this have to do with SDL Machine Translation becoming Language Weaver? Does it mean that we have to add a paid subscription to it? If so, where do I sign up for it so that it works properly and I can get on with setting up my translation? 
 Thank you so much for your help with this.

 If you wish to use that plugin from the appstore then you should select it after installing. The screenshots you are showing are the out of the box Machine Translation options for "SDL Machine Translation (Enterprise)", not the plugin. 
 You want this one: 
 
 Which will log you in automatically using the same credentials you use to log into Trados Studio.

 What happens if you use the out of the box machine translation as opposed to the app? If you do not have a paid account (which is not available to Freelancers at the moment) then the ability to use custom models or dictionaries isn't there anyway.

Trados Studio > 4. Machine Translation
