I got Trados Studio on a MacBook Air using Parallels. I used a different tool for years, but Trados is newer to me.
Where can I get tutorials? ¿Any person with these tools combination and experience interested in teaching a couple of paid sessions? My language pair is EN>ES.
I've always used Trados Studio with Parallels on a Mac (in my case, a MacBook Pro) and heartily recommend it. Best of both worlds. Using Studio on a Mac is no different from using it in a Windows environment, so use any Studio tutorial.

Hi Will!
I also use Trados Studio with Parallels. Now I have to change my Mac Pro (which is now 10 years old) and wonder if the fact that the new Parallels downloads Windows with ARM can affect the operation of Trados Studio 2024. I wouldn’t want to make an expensive purchase and then find out that Trados doesn’t work with the Windows used by Parallels. What version of Parallels and Trados Studio are you currently using?
My 2017 MBP is running Studio 2022 in Parallels Desktop 20. If I decided to continue in the translation game, I would get a juicy MB Air and continue with the latest Parallels that's made for the next MacOS Sequoia. I cannot imagine that Parallels will not continue being compaitble with Windows apps like Studio.

I can reassure you, Trados Studio works fine with all versions of Parallels, including the new ARM-based versions on Silicon-based Macs.
And the latest version 20 of Parallels even works fine on the latest MacBook Air M3 with Sequoia.

Parallels version 20 is already compatible with Sequoia.
Thank you so much, Will. Your opinion is really helpful!
Thank you so much, Walter. You’ve cleared up my last doubts about the purchase!
Hi Will,
I saw your post about successfully activating Trados on Parallels Desktop, and I was wondering if you could share how you managed it. I’ve been trying to activate Trados within Parallels, but each time I attempt it, I receive an activation failure with error code 210150. However, the activation attempts still count against my available activations.
Any advice or steps you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Mustafa, I started the whole Trados + Parallels things very many years ago and cannot remember how I did it, but I did have help from a Windows expert friend. Sorry I can't help you further.
Hi Will,
Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

The procedure is the same as on Windows because you are actually running a Windows session in Parallels.
Once you are logged in to your Windows VM, launch Studio and when prompted, enter your activation code. Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
However, the activation attempts still count against my available activations.
I don't think so. If you did not manage to activate, you can try again. Anyway, what do you mean by "available activations"?
