The KB does not have anything relevant on this.

I am now locked out and with a number of projects to deliver.

Can anybody please help ?

My guess is... Jun 11, 2015

... you didn't return it from another PC. So even if you don't use it the system is showing it as still registered there. The solution is to force return it which you can do yourself by using the Self Service option in your MySDL account for SDL Trados 2011 and SDL Trados Studio 2014.

Unfortunately, I do not use any other computer Jun 11, 2015

I only use Trados on one PC.
After installing S 2014, I have deactivated 2011 as instructed, but keep getting the 23 error since then.
The Licence page also says the licence is available and does not have a Return licence option, as I guess it considers it as available.

Thank you for answering so quickly

Hi Jean-Luc

Could you please confirm the LAST 4 digits of the activation code that you are using please.
After checking our end the license does not appear to be blocked.

Thanks
