We are constantly reviewing and improving our products. We release enhancements and fixes to resolve customer issues as and when required. This article lists the enhancements and fixes for Trados Studio 2021 SR2 to date. Hotfixes are bundled into service releases or cumulative update patches that are installed automatically using the AutoUpdate functionality in Trados Studio.
 

Downloading and Installing Cumulative Updates

A cumulative update is usually applied when you use the AutoUpdate functionality available in Trados Studio. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and apply the update. RWS recommends that you use AutoUpdate.
NOTE: Applying the update may take some time, as the Trados Studio installation fully replaces the previously installed version. As a rule of thumb, applying the update will take roughly the same time as installing the application originally. However, you can also apply the patch manually, as follows:

1. Close Trados Studio 2021 SR2.
2. Download the ZIP file TradosStudio2021_SR2_CU12_9338.zip from our Download Center. In Google Chrome, right-click on the hyperlink and select Save Link As... to download the file to a location of your choice. In other browsers, it may be possible to perform the download directly by clicking on the link.
3. The ZIP file contains an .exe file. Extract this file to a temporary folder of your choice, such as C:\temp. This .exe file applies to all editions of Trados Studio 2021 SR1.
4. Double-click the .exe file. This will install the latest release and replace as well as update the files in the Trados Studio 2021 SR2 installation folder as appropriate.

After the update release has been installed and Trados Studio or your PC restarted, the issues described in this article should no longer occur.

Cumulative Update 12 for Trados Studio 2021 SR2 (Build 16.2.12.9338, Released on 5^th of July 2022)

With this cumulative update (CU), we are polishing some areas of the application and bringing some stability improvements as well as some fixed issues.

CU12 is the logical successor to CU10 as it has superseded CU11.

Additional notes:

• The issue where Trados Studio displayed all projects after a restart, regardless of filters, is now fixed. (CRQ-28992)
• The date and time property of TM units is now consistently being updated across date and time formats, regardless of the method of creation or update. (CRQ-29503)

Cumulative Update 10 for Trados Studio 2021 SR2 (Build 16.2.10.9305, Released on 4th of May 2022)

License compatibility

With this cumulative update (CU), we are mainly updating the licensing mechanism for Trados Studio 2021 in preparation for the upcoming Trados Studio 2022 release. 

When you activate a Trados Studio 2022 upgrade license, the updates in this CU will enable you to use both Trados Studio 2022 and Trados Studio 2021 on the same computer. This way, you can continue working on projects for which your customers specifically require Trados Studio 2021, and not yet Trados Studio 2022.

The modernization and improvements brought to the licensing mechanism means you need to use the new Trados License Manager v17 to be able to successfully license Trados Studio 2021 SR2 CU10.

You can download the new Trados License Manager from your account or alternatively download the installer from HERE. 
 

Additional Notes

• Trados Studio 2021 CU10 can use both an existing Trados Studio 2021 license and the Trados Studio 2022 upgrade license. As long as you do not deactivate the Trados Studio 2022 license in the product, Trados Studio 2021 remains activated. If you return the 2021 license, you will not be able to reactivate your Trados Studio 2021 license until you install CU10 delivered here. Installing CU10 then allows Trados Studio 2021 to use the 2022 license.
• Importantly, if you did deactivate the Trados Studio 2021 license before installing CU10 delivered here, you will not be able to get CU10 through AutoUpdate, as this is only available when an active Trados Studio instance is running. Since you have deactivated Trados Studio 2021 CU9 or earlier, Trados Studio cannot find an active license and does not allow AutoUpdate to run and install CU10.
• To solve this problem, download the manual installer from the Downloading and Installing Cumulative Updates section above. Alternatively, run the AutoUpdate executable that launches the AutoUpdate process without requiring Trados Studio to run. You can find the AutoUpdate client under C:\ProgramData\Trados\ Trados Studio\Studio17\Updates\SdlUpdateClient.exe. Click this .EXE file in Windows Explorer to run the AutoUpdate client.
• This upgrade compatibility mechanism works only for local licenses and does not support network licenses. To enable mixed-versions workflows with a network license, contact your RWS Account Manager.
• The process described above is valid only for upgrading from Trados Studio 2021 to 2022. For Trados Studio 2019 and earlier versions, this process does not apply.

Important

• If you are using a Network license then you must update the License Server Manager before installing the CU10 update.  To do this please refer to the Resolution section in the following KB article: 000018693
• If you work with WorldServer Packages in Trados Studio then you must update to the latest WorldServer Compatibility Pack for Trados Studio.  To do this please refer to the Resolution section in the following KB article: 000018695

Fixed Issues

• When switching to a cloud account with no active subscriptions, Trados Studio would display the subscription information from the previous account. This issue is now fixed. (LG-29747)
• Fixed an issue that caused the Hitlist settings from the Termbase Recognition window to disappear when using Language Cloud Terminology and switching between segments. (CRQ-18393)

Cumulative Update 9 for Trados Studio 2021 SR2 (Build 16.2.9.9198, released on 15 December 2021)
