Hello everyone,

I’m actually developing a stand-alone program using the SDL Studio API, in order to create a Trados project via a personal interface.

The problem is, at the moment I call the constructor of the FileBasedProject class, a LicensingException occurs.

1. I have a professional SDL Trados license key ,I’m using SDL Trados Studio with it.

2. I have no problem creating project in SDL Trados Studio.

3. I've installed the SDL Trados Studio 2015 SDK

I know it's a problem that have already been discussed here, but none of the answers actually worked for me.

Here the following exception detail :

Sdl.ProjectAutomation.FileBased.LicensingException was unhandled by user code
 HResult=-2146233088
 Message=License check failed, with exception: Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.PluginFrameworkException: No Application specific plug-in directory found.
  at Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.DefaultPluginLocator..ctor()

  at Sdl.Common.Licensing.Manager.ApplicationLicenseManager.GetLicenseWithoutConsumingSeatsOrUsages()
  at Sdl.ProjectAutomation.FileBased.FileBasedProject.CheckLicense()

And here the method I use to create the project :

public static void createBasedOnTemplate(StudioProjectInfo info)
        {
            AssemblyResolver.Resolve();

            ProjectInfo pInfo = new ProjectInfo();

            pInfo.Name = info.Name;
            pInfo.Description = info.Description;
            pInfo.LocalProjectFolder = info.LocalProjectFolder;

            ProjectTemplateReference refTemplate = info.TemplateRef;
            
            FileBasedProject proj = new FileBasedProject(pInfo, refTemplate);
            proj.AddFiles(info.FilePaths);
            proj.Save();
        }

If anyone has an idea about my problem, I would be glad to read it.

Thanks.
