Checking for SDL Trados Studio updates

Specify if you want to automatically check for updates for SDL Trados Studio.

Procedure

  1. Go to File > Options.
  2. In the Options dialog, select Automatic Updates from the navigation tree.
  3. Select how Trados Studio checks for updates:
    • Manually check - Trados Studio does not check for updates. You can manually do this by going to the Help tab and selecting Check for updates.
    • Automatically check - Trados Studio automatically checks for any software updates when the application starts and prompts you to download and install the update.
    • Automatically download and install - Trados Studio automatically checks for any available software updates. When new updates are available, Trados Studio downloads them. Once this is done, you are prompted to install them at your convenience.

    If you have no access to the Internet access or if you have a slow Internet connection, you may want to disable the options for automatic update because they will increase the time it takes to open Trados Studio.

    If options for automatic update are not enabled, your system administrator has set up a group policy enabling or disabling checks for automatic updates. For more information about group policies, see the SDL Trados Studio 2017 Installation Guide.

What to do next

When an update is available, Trados Studio will notify you in the Notifications window about it and, if you choose to perform the update, will guide you through the process.
