Configuring available product editions

As a network-licensing administrator, you can configure what product editions are available to a client user when they try to connect to the license server. The information in this topic is relevant to you if you have multiple commuter licenses activated on the same license.

Generate and edit the network license configuration file

Procedure

  1. On the client machine, go to Help > Product Activation.
  2. In the Product Activation dialog, select Activate > Alternative activation options > Use a License Server.
  3. Fill in the server name and select Connect.
  4. On the multiple license selection page, select the CTRL + F12 key combination to create a network license configuration file.
  5. Go to the location of the network license configuration file (C:\ProgramData\Trados\Passolo\Passolo22\Data) and open the file using your preferred text editor (for Trados Studio, the file name is StudioCommuter.lic). This is an example for the XML file structure:
    <LicenseDefinition>
    	<LicenseEdition>
    		<Name>ProductEdition</Name>
    			<IsCurrent>true</IsCurrent>
    			<Features>
    				<Feature>
    					<Name>FeatureName</Name>
    					<IsDefault>true</IsDefault>
    				</Feature>
    		</Features>
    	</LicenseEdition>
    </LicenseDefinition>
  6. Edit the XML file structure to configure what editions the client user can choose from (when they activate Trados Studio) and what features are available to them.
    • If you want to add or remove a product edition, edit the file to include or exclude the <LicenseEdition> tags and their content for the specific product edition.

    • If you want to add or remove a product feature from a product edition, edit the file to include or exclude the <Feature> tags and their content for the specific product feature.

    See Product editions and features for a list of available options.
  7. After any change you make to the XML file, go to Help > Product Activation > Change license server and connect to the network license server again.
