Hi everyone.
Long story short, I had Studio 2015 and it stopped working. I bought a new license for the 2022 version (the only one available), only to find out it is not supported by my main client server/system. And they won't upgrade it until February 2024, potentially. Neither my client nor RWS can help me. I was sent download links for prior versions, but it gives me the 30 day trial version.
Has anyone been in this situation before?

Do you know of any group where translators/revisors share extra activation codes for prior versions (2017, 2019, 2021) in exchange for a financial contribution?
I am really stuck and not sure what to do :-/
Thanks a lot in advance! ▲ Collapse

I checked and... Dec 5, 2023

I checked my old files, and I found a ZIP file with the name "sdl trados 2015 sr3 (if install problem) RegistrationFix.zip" which I think I must have gotten from an official source. I'm not sure where I got if from or what problem it was meant to fix, but perhaps it fixes yours...?

I can't help with an install number, but here are the latest 2015 installers (originally downloaded from the official website).

Sharing Dec 5, 2023

I think sharing is problematic because then you have to be in constant touch with the other translator for any tech issues, which can't be vouched. What if you lose contact with that translator, for any reason?

You bought an expensive license before checking whether your system supports it?

Yes I know, it was supposed to be a plan B until my client upgrades their system.
Studio 2022 works fine on my laptop, the problem is with my client's server. It is one of the biggest translation agencies in the world, if not the biggest, and they have been using Trados forever, I was really caught off guard when they told me there was a compatibility issue. They have been pushing freelancers to upgrade every year, and now they are running late. I guess I am gonna go on a sabbatical

I think you can exchange it with someone who has Trados 2021. Here are the steps to follow: https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/studio/40876/i-m-retiring-and-would-like-to-sell-my-trados-studio-2021

It describes selling a license, but exchange is like a zero-sum double selling. One of you "sells" Trados 2022 for $X, the other "sells" Trados 2021 for $X too.
