Hello,

Does a software SDL Trados Studio 2011 Freelance + 2007 work on Windows 7 only?

I would like to buy SDL Trados Studio 2011 Freelance + 2007 but I am afraid, It can not work on my PC with operating system Window XP professionl Service pack 2, and kindly be noted that this Copy of my Window XP is not genuine.

Should I have to install Windows 7 to be able to install and use SDL Trados Studio 2011 Freelance + 2007?

If any colleague use SDL Trados Studio 2011 /2009 and 2007 on Windows XP professional Service pack 2, can help, I would be very grateful.

I have other question, please, If I buy the software from SLD approved seller in Egypt, they will give me a CD with the software but the activation will be sent to me via the e-mail?

Many thanks and kind regards,
Hani

What do you mean by not genuine? Do you mean an illegal copy?
Kindly be noted that this is a public forum, can be read by anybody, and it is indexed by Google.

System requirements for SDL Trados Studio Dec 6, 2011

System requirements for SDL Trados Studio:

SDL Trados Studio supports Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. As a minimum requirement, we recommend a Pentium IV-based computer with 1 GB RAM and a screen resolution of 1280x1024. For optimum performance, we recommend 2 GB RAM and a more recent Pentium or compatible processor.

Hani, the correct process would be to buy a genuine copy of Windows first. I don't think that this forum is the right place to provide help regarding software piracy.

I think you you should ask the approved reseller. But IMO, you will be provided with a profile on www.translationzone.com from which you can download the software and where you will also find the activation codes.

thanks, and no piracy! Dec 6, 2011

thanks so much for your help, thanks Ahmed, I already had a genuine copy or Window XP service pack 2 but my processor was damaged and I had to use other one, I am unable to find again a genuine Windows XP, all are new, only Windows 7.
I purchased Windows 7 Professional (880 LE) from Cairo but I felt uncomfortable with Windows 7, anyways, thanks.
