Dear All,


I bought an upgrade from *Studio 2011 Freelance Plus* to *Studio 2014 Freelance Plus* licence end of December.

Today, when opening my Studio 2011, I get the error message window:
Error occurred retrieving your license.
Error Details: *Insufficient privileges (Support reference: InsufficientPrivileges - 108)*

Is that my Christmas present from SDL for buying an upgrade??? They're amazing...

Dear All,


I bought an upgrade from *Studio 2011 Freelance Plus* to *Studio 2014 Freelance Plus* licence end of December.

Today, when opening my Studio 2011, I get the error message window:
Error occurred retrieving your license.
Error Details: *Insufficient privileges (Support reference: InsufficientPrivileges - 108)*

Is that my Christmas present from SDL for buying an upgrade??? They're amazing...

My old Studio 2011 should be up and running as usual, this is what I was told before buying my upgrade.
In fact, my licence is not working and I cannot even deactivate it, as the pop-up window says I cannot deactivate because of insufficient privileges.

Can you help me?


Thank you

Error messages when installing or starting SDL Trados Studio 2011 or later: "InsufficientPrivileges" Jan 2, 2014

Hopefully, after googling key words in search for some help, I found the following solution to my problem, which seems to work:


InsufficientPrivileges -108

The service was not installed with sufficient privileges. This is caused by the service being installed with ordinary user privileges (which should be impossible under normal circumstances) or the computer was set up in such a way that only the administrator account itself can install services.

Hopefully, after googling key words in search for some help, I found the following solution to my problem, which seems to work:


InsufficientPrivileges -108

The service was not installed with sufficient privileges. This is caused by the service being installed with ordinary user privileges (which should be impossible under normal circumstances) or the computer was set up in such a way that only the administrator account itself can install services.


To fix the two errors mentioned above:

Click Start > Run...
Type: services.msc
The Services dialog will open.
Scroll in the list to:
Nalpeiron Licensing Service
Nalpeiron Control Service
First right-click on Nalpeiron Control Service and select Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, switch the Start Up Type option to Automatic.
Click Apply and OK to confirm the changes.
Right-click on the service name again and choose Start.
Repeat step 5 to 8 with the service Nalpeiron Licesing Service.
Now close the Service dialog and start SDL Trados Studio again. The errors should be fixed.



I hope no more Christmas present will be sent to me for as long as possible

Pretty much the same problem Jan 2, 2014

Hi everyone!

Hope you can help me with this issue, seems like I've received the same "Christmas gift" as Marco...

I bought the upgrade (2009 Freelance to 2014 Freelance) last month and installed it today, only to find the program won't open AT ALL.

When I try to open Trados Studio 2014, I get the following error message:
"Error occurred retrieving your license. Error Details: Insufficient privileges (Support reference: InsufficientPrivileges - 108)"
and then it tells me to DEACTIVATE my license (how so? I haven't even activated it yet!!!!) and when I try to do so it doesn't work - error: "Unable to obtain your activation code. Please enter it manually to deactivate the product" - when I enter the code it says "Insufficient Privileges" AGAIN...

Although intended for Studio 2011, I've tried this (http://www.proz.com/forum/sdl_trados_support/235405-studio_2011:_error_occurred_retrieving_your_license.html) but without success...
I'm using Windows XP on VirtualBox.

Any ideas?

Am truly on the point of chucking my computer out of the window! Is there any way of talking to a REAL PERSON at SDL who will not just politely point me back to the labyrinth of totally unhelpful, lengthy and time wasting junk that I for one cannot begin to understand? For the cost of all this why can't a technician come into my PC and sort the issue? Is that too much to ask? I happen to like Trados, which is why I rarely use Wordfast Pro - but this has got me sooooooo frustrated (and poor) aaaarghhhhhh!!!!! Oh yes and one of the Nalpeiron things has totally disappeared from services as well Jabber, jabber this is just not funny, can't I go back to dear old Trados 7 - so simple and reliableCollapse

HELP! Same problem Studio 2014 has blocked my license! Apr 1, 2014

Hello, everyone!

Unbelievable, my license has been blocked and I have an assignment for tomorrow. I can´t open Studio 2104 nor 2011, nor deactivate the product online or offline to use on another PC. I'm running Windows 8. Neilperion Control Service is running, but it won´t let me start Nalpeiron Licensing Service in services.msc.

Anyone has any ideas on what to do?? I don't have the Studio Support, if I get it, would my problem be solved?? Any advice is welcome. ... See more

Hi Luciana and Marco,

Please note all four directions below will achieve the same goal; #1 & #2 are the easiest. But before attempting any of them, it wise to confirm you are logged into your pc with administrator rights. Plus please bear in mind if Windows UAC is above the minimal setting, it will add additional confirmation boxes to confirm.

(1) SDL KB #4497 | http://kb.sdl.com/kb/article?ArticleId=4497 | Error messages when installing or starting SDL Trados Studio 2011 or later: "InsufficientPrivileges -108" or "ServiceVersionNotCurrent -65"

(2) The quickest link to access the hyperlink Luciana kindly offered is available here: __ http://www.updatemyservice.com __ Please rest assured this hyperlink above is indeed the software licensing software vender. A confirmation is here: http://support.nalpeiron.com/customer/portal/articles/1156163-service-repair-utility-v6-7-?b_id=191 __

(3) SDL KB #4811 | http://kb.sdl.com/kb/article?ArticleId=4811 | Error message "LicenseRead Failure -80" when launching or activating SDL Trados Studio 2011 or stuck on loading plug-ins page

(4) In light of concerns such as Marco & Stella's, we at SDL have added this nice new feature: http://kb.sdl.com/index.aspx?t=sf __ >> Downloads & Install Problems >> "I use Trados Studio ... " >> "The install went fine, but now I receive an error message when opening ... ". Then sub-navigate the particular aspects applicable to your current situation.


If all else fails or you are still concerned, definitely free to reach out to us in SDL Support using either your active SDL Premium Support Contract ; or even via the SDL Solution Finder on these particular SDL Trados Studio will not start / licensing issues.

Regards,
Bob

One would think this problem would be resolved already by SDL, as there are hundreds of comments all over the Web regarding this very problem...

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Then I'm sure a support engineer will be able to resolve this for you in due course.

Tried everything to do, but without success. Until, I got an idea to do the next.

1. Installed VirtualXP under Windows7.
2. Installed SDL Trados Studio 2011 (2014) in the VirtualXP environment, and this way got rid of DEACTIVATE and Error 108 messages.

Now everything works perfectly well, especially SDL Studio. In the same time I have both on my screen, Windows 7 and Windows XP.

Good luck to everyone who has the same problem.

When I try I get another 'insufficient privileges' message and if I try to deactivate offline I get this error message when trying to generate a certificate:

Offline deactivation has failed
OK
(You cannot call this method if ActivationMethods is InternetActivated or LicenceCertificate OK)

Can any help please? Is there any way of getting SDL to deactivate the license? I am using Windows 7, Studio 2011. I do not have a support contract

Thanks so much!

Best wishes,
