Trying to download and install Transit NXT on my laptop, having deactivated it temporarily on desktop. Cannot find how to do it - when I click on the service pack on the Star web site it demands a password, which I don't think I have, though I have a license number. Any ideas?

I think that you'll need a full install first. An SP won't do it. You can contact STAR Support for a link to a full version.

That's what I was afraid of. I emailed them this morning. No response. Disappointing.

EDIT I just don't get why they don't allow me to log in to my account and download the software. Why not? I have to go through the activation process anyway, so it's not like I can use it without a license.

I see no indication that the company's management have collectively sat down round a table and said to each other "How can we make this easier for these people?"

Well, I guess that's why I have been asked whether I have an SDL/Trados license dozens of times, whereas I've only been asked if I have a STAR license once. That tells you a lot about relative success. The market applies its punishments slowly, but it gets there in the end.

Thanks
Dan

Do you have your delivery mail? There you can find the password.
The password is changed every 2-3 years. I don't understand it either, why they put a password on it.
If you don't get your password on monday, write me a PM, I'll get it for you.

I thank you for offer and may take you up on it if they don't get back to me.

However, the piece of work I wanted to do in Transit has been finished, using my office desktop. I wanted to use some of the eight hours spent sitting on a train over the past few days to get some work done on the laptop, but that didn't happen and the need is now passed.
