When I use my work pc from home through windows remote desktop, Trados 2007 go into demo mode.
I am not sure if this done deliberately or if it's a defect, I don't have that issue with any other applications.
Is there a way of getting Trados to recognize the license through RDC?
I could probably release the key and install Trados at home but I'd rather not handle work files on my personal computer.

I believe this is a deliberate restriction. However, there is a simple workaround. Use one of the many flavours of VNC - most of them are free. As long as your bandwidth is large enough, say 1 Mbps, you will work just as comfortably. For slow links RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is better though.
I'd suggest TightVNC or UltraVNC. If your link is really slow, you will probably have to try the version with the so called display hook driver (in UltraVNC) or mirror video driver (in TightVNC). If the link speed is big enough, don't bother installing that feature. Since it is implemented via a driver, it has a non-zero probability of breaking something in the system.
Hope this helps.

Hi Fabrice,
Pretty much like bdb_2, I would suggest using non-MS remote desktop software. I have extensively used VNC, TightVNC and UltraVNC in the past, but I now find TeamViewer (www.teamvierwer.com) much faster, and, most of all, a lot more secure, as you won't need to leave a port constantly open for that.
Leaving open ports is pretty much like letting your door opened, but not locked. And all versions of VNC and UltraVNC are so widespread that many hacker find ways to bypass your password restrictions and then have full access to your PC. *Properly* securing a VNC solution can be a nightmare, even for the geekiest of us.
With TeamViewer, as you leave no port opened, you are much less prone to attacks (the only way to access your PC would be to first hack TeamViewer's servers). Although not open source, it is freeware, so cost is not an issue to using it.

Thanks guys! I ended up using VNC.
Security isn't any issue since I have to be connected to the company VPN in order to access my PC.
I would be curious to hear from someone SDL on why Trados can't be used through RDC, I read somewhere that version prior to 2007 didn't have that limitation.

I guess that's the limitation for Freelance edition. I have no problems with using Professional installation at my office desktop through VPN/RDC.

Actually I am using a SDL 2007 Professional. Is yours a 2007 as well?

Hello Fabrice,
SDL Trados 2007 Professional requires a floating license to be used over a remote desktop connection.
I will contact you offline to explain how to set this up.
I hope this helps.
Many Thanks,

Thanks Gareth for your explanation. My license is the floating one.

Problem solved, my Nodelocked key was swapped for a floating license.
Trados works fine with RDC now.
