Hi Iain Shaw,

Yes, that's right: It asks us to choose between the two, and we select the Professional one:

Is there a way to force our API program to pick up the correct one?

Thanks,

Madeleine

Madeleine Barois, please can you try the DLL in the attached zip. I've added a change that will give the Professional license priority over the Workgroup license, when both licenses exist on the license server.

You don't need the previous DLL that I sent you so you can replace that with the original in your Studio installation folder.

I still don't understand how your application works on some machines and not others! :-)

Regards,

Iain.

Hi Iain Shaw

Sorry for the late response, we've been busy testing :)

The dll works, thank you! (To answer your questions, some of our machines connect to a different license server, so those didn't have the same problem.)

We have some follow-up questions:

1. To avoid us needing to manually replace the dll on all our users' computers, would there be a way to package it in a new installation of SDL Trados Studio?
2. With the new dll, when users start SDL manually, this window appears and they have to click "Ok". Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks in advance,

Madeleine

We will be doing this, but not for Studio 2017.  We don't have a release vehicle for this version which is almost out of support since the release of Trados Studio 2021.  So the fix will be available in a future update for 2019 and 2021.

Not in the solution you have now.  So users will need to click.  In the update to 2019 and 2021 we will address this as well.
