Where do I download Trados 7 from? Thread poster: Marc Adler
|
|---|
I prepurchased Trados 7 together with the Trados 6.5 softkey update last month, but there is no mention of Trados 7 in my account (at https://trados.subscribenet.com/).
All it shows in my download page is:
TRADOS 6.5 Freelance incl. TRADOS 7
and the softkey file, both of which I downloaded and installed.

Where do I go to get the Trados 7 file(s) to download? Clicking on "Buy" takes me (obviously) to the purchase screen, and I've already bought it.
Thanks in advance,

It seems that the links for downloading are not activated yet, although I "pre-ordered" version 7 too...
Hope it comes quickly.

Hi all,
I escalated the issue to senior Trados marketing staff, and will keep you posted as soon as I get a response.
Best regards,
Ralf

| I got my links yesterday | Jun 22, 2005 |
Maybe it has something to do with me sending an email to Mike Kidd (who seems to be very active in translatior forums lately) and complaining about the issue.

I sent the following message yesterday to a faceless address ([email protected]), asking while I was at it about a further decrease in price. I feel ripped off having bought the upgrade a week too early...

Dear Trados Team,
First of all, I am a bit annoyed to see that while benefiting a week ago from 15% off to upgrade from v5.5, I paid 216.75 euros, whereas the current price is now 191.25 euros with this same early-bird offer!!!

Dear Trados Team,
First of all, I am a bit annoyed to see that while benefiting a week ago from 15% off to upgrade from v5.5, I paid 216.75 euros, whereas the current price is now 191.25 euros with this same early-bird offer!!!
I would appreciate if you could explain the rationale behind this extra 11% decrease in price, and why I had to pay a premium for being a too-early-bird.
Secondly, I was informed by way of a newsletter signed Mike Kidd today that Trados 7 Freelance is now released. My question is: when shall I be able to download the upgrade, and where from?
As you know, the licence for this version 7 is included in the upgrade price "when it ships".
Looking forward to hearing from you on both matters,
Philippe Etienne

The thing is I am planning a major maintenance and upgrade activity tomorrow, and it would be just right to have the upgrade at that point. I keep my fingers crossed...

| Trados are working on it | Jun 22, 2005 |
Hi all,
Trados staff are working on it, so the links should be available very soon.
Best regards,

To add to Ralf's statement (thank you for yours efforts) about the availability of the links, I received a reply to my previous mail to Trados:
1) The price I saw when I visited Trados Shop was wrong and was immediately corrected. So I was not had and just happened to be there at the wrong time...
2) I will be notified on the TRADOS 7 download in the next few days by their licensing team.

2) I will be notified on the TRADOS 7 download in the next few days by their licensing team.
In my opinion, Trados could have waited a bit before announcing the release of V7 until they were ready to dispatch it to those who pre-ordered (and paid in advance to get the upgrade asap). A few days delay is a way too much for my working environment where the base unit is the hour or less.
sort of putting-the-cart-before-the-horse attitude...
Anyway, I suppose I cannot do much about it.

This is what I received today from Mike Kidd
"Sorry for the confusion. We released TRADOS 7 to manufacturing, but
the

learned we are looking at first week of July. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
Thank you again for your order and we appreciate your business and
