Automating the SDL Trados Studio 2017 network licensing process for several client machines through the Windows registry...

Before changing or adding something in the Windows Registration Editor I recommend that you make a backup. If you are not aware on how to do that maybe the blog post of mine can help you:

• Always have a backup ^_^ of your Windows Registry
  

Create relevant strings within the new registration key 

1. Open the Registry Editor. 
2. Go to following location:
   • For 32-bit computers: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SDL\Studio5License
   • For 64-bit computers: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Wow6432Node\Software\SDL\Studio5License

No. 2: Define the setting for the license server name

NOTE: Replace the [dedicated server name] with the computer name where the SDL Licensing Server Manager is installed.

No. 3: Define the setting for the license provider product identifier

1. Right-click on it in the right hand side window and select New > String Value
2. Name the string value CurrentLPID
3. Press Enter to confirm the change.
4. Double-click on the CurrentLPID string value.
5. Enter the name of the license provider product identifier: SafeNetRMS

6. Click OK

No. 4: Define the setting for the license borrowing use

1. Right-click on it in the right hand side window and select New > String Value
2. Name the string value UseBorrowedLicense
3. Press Enter to confirm the change.
4. Double-click on the UseBorrowedLicense string value.
5. Enter the name of the license provider product identifier: False

No. 5: Define the setting for the license feature/version

1. Right-click on it in the right hand side window and select New > String Value
2. Name the string value CheckedOutEdition
3. Press Enter to confirm the change and then double-click on the CheckedOutEdition string value.
4. Enter the edition name network license usually is a professional version): ProfessionalEdition
5. Right-click on it in the right hand side window and select New > String Value
6. Name the string value CheckedOutFeatures
7. Press Enter to confirm the change and then double-click on the CheckedOutFeatures string value.
8. Enter the edition name network license usually is a professional version): ProfessionalEdition,AllowTQA

Last but not least:

Create registration key (*.reg) file for distribution

NOTE: The following is a summarized version of the procedure; an IT technician who creates the silent installations or registration key would normally know how to do this.

1.       Open a text editor, for example Notepad.

2.       Copy and paste the following information into the empty file:

For 32-bit operating systems:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SDL\Studio5License]

"UseLicenseServer"="True"

"ServerName"="[dedicated server name]"

"CurrentLPID"="SafeNetRMS"

"CheckedOutEdition"="ProfessionalEdition"

"CheckedOutFeatures"="ProfessionalEdition,AllowTQA"

"UseBorrowedLicense"="False"

For 64-bit operating systems:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SDL\Studio5License]

"UseLicenseServer"="True"

"ServerName"="[dedicated server name]"

"CurrentLPID"="SafeNetRMS"
"CheckedOutEdition"="ProfessionalEdition"

"CheckedOutFeatures"="ProfessionalEdition,AllowTQA"

"UseBorrowedLicense"="False"

NOTE: Replace [dedicated server name] with the name of the machine on which you installed the SDL License Server Manager.
