My old computer with Studio 2021 on died. I had Trados Studio 2021 activated.

I need to reset the license so I can install this on the new computer, but I can't find anywhere to get help from SDL without purchasing a support agreement.
All of the old links for support and chat options seem to no longer work.

After going through various steps and trying multiple times, the submit a request button finally showed up.
I was able to submit a request and they replied promptly. The situation is now resolved.
There should be an easier way.
