different trados versions running in one environment

Hi All, is possible to run different trados studio version in one environment? E.g. if I install Trados Studio 2015 in Windows 10 OS - suppose it is activating and using license server. I will also install Trados Studio 2021. Is it possible to run both Trados versions? Or only one in time, but both can be installed? Or only one version can live in one OS?

  • Hey - just a fellow developer, anecdotal note I have all four versions from 2017-2022 installed on a single machine. Works for me, only nit is 2022 has a different plugin installer, so depending on the order you install, clicking on plugin installer will either bring the pre-2022 or the 2022 installer, and let you choose target version accordingly only. But you can always manually copy that plugin package to the right Trados directory (I found that is mostly all that the installer does too).

  • Hi, in my opinion

    Yes, I think it would be best to try it out in the different versions of Windows OS in different machine specs and update the outcome in the community for other users. So, we can have the widest range of results to answer the question. Hope it works out for your setting up.

    And I believe the latest version is not always the best to suit all work as personal experienced in many of products. A tailored approach to suit your requirements of work would be my best suggestion.
