Hello,
I just installed the trial version of Studio on a virtual machine. I have a license but I haven't activated on this device yet since I am still finishing off work on my old computer. When I try to add a file based TM to the trial version, I am getting the message, "Unable to find specified file." I tried moving the file to different locations but no joy. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hello,
It seems like you're experiencing an issue with adding a file-based Translation Memory (TM) to your Trados Studio. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this issue:
Step 1: Ensure that the file you're trying to add is not open in any other application. If it is, close the other application and try adding the file again.
Step 2: Check if the file is located in a folder where files are not blocked. If it is in a blocked folder, move it to a different location and try adding it again.
Step 3: Run Trados Studio as an Administrator. To do this, right-click on the Trados Studio icon and select 'Run as administrator'. Then, try adding the file again.
Step 4: If the issue persists, it might be due to the fact that you're using a trial version of Trados Studio. Some features might not be available in the trial version. Consider activating your license on the new device to access all features.
I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Hello,
I tried the steps suggested and activated the license but I am still having the same issue. No matter where I try to add a file-based TB from, I get the "unable to find specified file" message. Please any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ciara

Hi Jesus,
Thank you very much for your answer. I have already activated the license but continue to get the same message.
And do you get this dialog box in Help > Product Activation?
Yes, I did receive that message. In fact, I have since deactivated again so that I can work on another device until I can find the cause of this issue, but when it was activated, I got the message you showed.
Do you use OneDrive or any similar service? If so, could you please try deactivating OneDrive and test again?
Thank you for this. I deactivated OneDrive but the message is still appearing.
Paul may have some ideas…
Thank you, Jesús. I appreciate you taking the time to help.
It looks like I have solved the problem! It may have been down to my unfamiliarity with using a virtual machine (Parallels). It looks like the file icons on the Windows side were not the actual file, more like a mirror image. When I navigated over to the termbase files on the Mac side I was able to add them. Just sharing it here in case any other technophobes like myself have the same issue in the future.
