Hi Andrzej Homanczyk,

I'm afraid that Trados 2014 and the third-party licensing technology that supports these products have reached the end of life and therefore end of support since 2022.

The licensing technology has been decommissioned for these products, which means that license activation, deactivation and license resets will no longer work on these versions.

The RWS official documentation for end-of-life can be found here: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=c6863f5683806e14a6b1fab8beaad35d&spa=1

Also, the 2014 license that you had was a one-year student license and it also is no longer valid.

Kind regards,

Anca

Hi Anca,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I've been using the license just fine even last week, so not sure about the "no longer valid" part(1). As for the deactivation, I activated it on the machine in question in 2024, I wasn't aware that the end of support meant also end of the offline activating/deactivating licenses. Is there really nothing that can be done? Can I "cancel" the offline deactivation attempt from the app level (2)?

Thanks again for any help.

Hi  Andrzej Homanczyk ,

Like I already mentioned, no, that is not possible.

The licensing technology has been decommissioned for all the Trados editions up to and including Trados 2014, which means that license activation, deactivation and license resets will no longer work on these versions. Therefore, you cannot activate it or deactivate it anymore, because the technology behind activation and deactivation had become obsolete.

It was announced at the time on all platforms and many emails were sent about this.

Kind regards,

Anca

Hi Anca, thank you again, understood.

Have a great week ahead

Andrzej

Thank you, you too, Andrzej!
