Hello dear ProZ-community,

I have just installed the latest version of SDL Trados 2019 and a problem has occured. I can only see demo videos of how to use and start Trados. The version is also called SDL Trados Studio trial ressources. This is weird, since I visited the official SDL homepage and clicked on: download testversion. Is anyone is familiar with this problem and can help me out? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Greetings from sunny Cologne... See more

Trial version Aug 31, 2019

Is perhaps the old (trial) licence key still being used?

testversion = latest version? Aug 31, 2019

I am puzzled. Are you sure you have downloaded the version you actually want?
I believe I have the latest version, which is
SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 - 15.2.0.1041
SDL Trados Studio 2019 Freelance
and I downloaded this from my profile page on SDL. I have not downloaded any test version to get the latest version of Studio.
Or perhaps there is something I misunderstand.

Checking I find that there is a trial version which can be downloaded from https://www.sdltrados.com/landing/inbound/trados-studio-trial.html?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&gclid=CjwKCAjwtajrBRBVEiwA8w2Q8GghkjBg_a9FAd6DDleeDdsvmB80XLvi6CkNWIrXLRgEY1zEddb2ZxoCYsUQAvD_BwE

Is this perhaps the version you are talking about? I see they give the following caveat:
"This trial will not work if you have any other SDL Trados Studio 2019 edition installed or if you have installed an SDL Trados Studio 2019 trial previously."

Don't know if this is any help to you, though.

30 days free trial version of SDL Aug 31, 2019

Hello Roy,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I have downloaded a 30 days trial version for free. But I can`t use the software, just watch some "How to use SDL Videos". I went on the official German website https://www.sdltrados.com/de/. My goal was not to purchase SDL, just to download the trial version and to practice translating with SDL. I am looking forward to your answer.

Problems with trial version SDL Aug 31, 2019

Hello,

it is the first time I have installed the trial version of SDL
2019 and I only have this one version. I have indeed installed a very old version of SDL in 2016 but that was years ago and on a different computer . And I have deleted the old version from 2016 long ago.

Greetings
Karina

Hello,

good news. After searching my programs on my laptop, I have found the software in a place, where it was not expected. But I have found it at last. Thank you anyhow. Your answers were fast and you really tried to help me. Good night.

Greetings
Karina
