Product activation dialog opens every time when Trados Studio 2024 is started. (Perpetual License)

Hello, 

Our users are getting this message popping up every time they launch Trados 2024.  They can hit "OK" and its fine but has been happening for the last week.  

Is there a process to get this to stop popping up each time the application is launched? 

Trados Studio 2024 Product Activation window showing Perpetual License tab. License Server: trados.slhs.org. Active License: Trados Studio 2024 Professional. Buttons: Disconnect, OK, Help.

  • Hi 

    A reset might help you with this.  To do this just close Trados Studio and then delete these folders:

    %appdata%\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18\

    %appdata%\Trados\Trados Studio\18\

    You will lose your plugins, and also your settings, but your projects and other resources will remain untouched. Putting the plugins back is trivial via the integrated appstore.

    If you can't find these folders then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:

    www.howtogeek.com/.../

    Then restart Trados Studio and see if that helped.

    Kind regards,
