Licensing
When you purchase any SDL software, you must activate it before you can use it. Activation means that the product is licensed for use on the machine where it is installed.

The Product Activation dialog is where you can perform all license related functions. - Single-user licenses
A single-user license activates the use of the SDL application on that computer. The license activates an SDL client application (SDL Trados Studio or SDL Passolo), or a server (e.g. TM Server), so that a specified number of concurrent users can connect to the server from the SDL client application. - Network licenses
Network licensing (or commuter licensing) provides the flexibility required in an enterprise environment to distribute a limited number of licenses among a large number of clients. - Modifying your proxy settings
If you have problems connecting to the SDL Activation Server during online activation or deactivation, you may want to modify your proxy server settings. Alternatively, you can choose to activate or deactivate offline. - Viewing your license status
You can view your current license status if you want to check details about license validity or license feature coverage. - Error message solutions
- Application Server - restart options
The Application Server may restart or not depending on the changes you make to the configuration or the licensing options.
