Hi Satish,

The costs for Trados Studio licenses are as follows:

1. Perpetual License: This option allows you to have a local installation of Trados Studio on your computer and includes 12 months of free access to Language Cloud Essential. After the first year, an annual subscription fee of $75 is required for continued access to Language Cloud Essential. The cost of a perpetual license varies depending on the edition (Freelance, Freelance Plus, or Professional) and any ongoing promotions. You can check the current pricing on the RWS Trados website.

2. Subscription: This option costs $295 per year and includes both the local installation of Trados Studio and access to cloud projects through Language Cloud. This is a more flexible option as it allows you to pay annually and always have access to the latest version of the software.

To purchase Trados Studio, you can visit the RWS Trados website and choose the license option that best suits your needs.
