It takes a long time to Start session in the MultiTrans Client.

1- Please check MultiTrans Client > Preferences > Configure Server...

In the list of Known Servers, if there is a LOCAL entry, this means that the Client full install was done.


If the client is not using Local TextBases, the LaunchServerProcess registry key should be disabled:

Procedure to disable LaunchServerProcess
Open the Registry Editor program then edit the DWORD registry key called "LaunchServerProcess" found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Donnelley\MultiTrans Pro (on a 64-bit operating system) or found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Donnelley\MultiTrans Pro (on a 32-bit operating system).

• To disable the local server, set "LaunchServerProcess"=2:

• To re-enable this functionality (which will require the full MultiTrans Client installation, including SQL Server Express), set "LaunchServerProcess"=1.

2- The slowness could occur when the SQL Server (MULTITRANS) service is stopped therefore all local TextBases could not be loaded.


You can check this in your Windows services and start this service if it's not started also make sure you do this whenever you don't have access to your TextBases.

3- When "Start session" comes up after a long time, please review the Selected Resources

The number of selected resources could be a reason for the Start session slowness. The more resources selected, the slower it could be to launch the session.
Make sure that you remove or deselect any unneeded TextBases.

There are a few possible causes:

1. The "External Translator" version of the MultiTrans Client (which does not include LOCAL TextBases/TermBases) was installed but the LaunchServerProcess registry key was not disabled. This causes the MultiTrans Client to attempt to connect to the LOCAL database which is not installed.
2. The "full" MultiTrans Client (which does include the ability to create LOCAL TextBases/TermBases) is installed but the SQL Server (MULTITRANS) Windows service is not enabled or running.
3. You may have too many TextBases selected and should consider selecting fewer resources when connecting.
