Hi
I have Trados Studio 2021. I find an old TM of mine, in TMW format, dated March 2006. I understand I could open it in Trados Studio 2021 and "upgrade" it in order to export it. Anyway I cannot find this "Aggiorna memoria di traduzione" command. Is it a plug-in? How does it work? I searched a bit...
Thank you!

Select "Translation Memories" in the "Start" menu tab. In my version (Trados 2014) "Upgrade Translation Memories" is "Extras" menu in the ribbon then.
Good luck

@Ilde Grimaldi
You have to install this plugin to recover the Upgrade Translation Memories functionality.

Unfortunately that plugin doesn't work properly. Upgrade fails.

dear Stepan
[I'm Ilde and original author of this post]. Reading your suggestion, I wished to install trados-compatibility-and-migration-power-pack.
So I noticed that I did not have the compatible version of SDL Trados Studio 2021 required, I had "16.1.4.4184"
Searching for "updates" from within Studio 2021, I was told that there is TradosStudio2021SR2_16.2.12.9338.exe and I downloaded it and installed it.
Now it requires activation. What should I do? When I update DVX,Wordfast Pro etc. etc. the application does not need activation. What do I do now? I have indeed my activation number, but I fear it would count as a new user (I don't even know if it would work, not having deactivated the previous one. But why there was no message about it? It is just an update, not a paid upgrade (needed for a plug-in).
Thank you!!!!!!!

Hi Ilde,
Long time has passed since my suggestion to you. RWS banned me from their services because according to their belief I arranged and started the Feb24 war. Therefore I can't check what happens when you install the update. As far as I understand, you downloaded the installer which is considered a different program, not just an update (sort of upgrade from Service Pack 1 to Service Pack 2). Probably this is why you came across that issue, but I am not sure though.

Probably this is why you came across that issue, but I am not sure though.
However, even if you have lost your license after re-installation, they still can restore it for you. I did it several times in the past. Just contact RWS and ask them to reset your license. Explain the situation exactly the same way you did here: [I wished to install trados-compatibility... blah-blah-blah... Now it requires activation. What should I do?]. I'm pretty sure they will fix it soon. The best way to contact them is through this link: https://community.rws.com/login?ReturnUrl=/product-groups/trados-portfolio/f/licensing
Posting a question there is equivalent of opening a support ticket.

I've already resolved the issue on the Trados (RWS) forum. The problem was that one file had an extra underscore sign in the suffix which caused the failure of the upgrade.

Aaah, the dreaded underscore error. Trados 7 also refused to open such files, and for some reason some clients just sent them like that.

dear all
I managed to download Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack (I had to update Trados Studio 2021 to a newer version/release).
Now I see "Prepara memorie di traduzione" "Migrazione" and was able to convert an old tmw file.
Thank you!

Thank you for your help. This thing about download and activation, resulted to be just a silly mix-up on my side, which I later discovered thanks to your suggestion.
