Wordfast pro 3 manual3/31/2023 ![]() ![]() You will soon feel the need to buy other CAT tools: Trados which seems to be the most used by agencies, MemoQ which a good number of freelancers enjoy, Deja V, etc. ![]() NB: for those living in developing economies (Africa, India, etc.), you don't need to buy Wordfast through Proz TGB. A 50% discount is offered through their website. On TGB, you only have 40% discount, and will wait for weeks for the buy to close. Review by John Di Rico 08:10 May 9, 2013. Steinberg introduces new ID-based licensing systemĬan integrate with cloud and/or remote TMs for free (no need for a freelance translator to buy a costly server license) Great pricing if you live in a non-OECD country (50% off) Good pricing that allows you free updates for three years, and a cheap renewal fee Highly responsive tech support (they will create a filter for you if you need to translate an obscure file format like Mindjet) Can handle virtually any type of file format It works natively on Mac (one of the main reasons I use it) I’ve been using Wordfast Pro since its inception and it keeps getting better with each new release. The most interesting part of today’s news is Steinbergs announcement of a new licensing system. We already knew that the company was working on ways to get rid of the unpopular eLicenser dongle. The new system will be ID-based, meaning that you’ll log into your software with your Steinberg ID to activate it. The software will then “call home” to check your license. The good news is that your DAW machine won’t have to be connected to the internet at all times. Steinberg says that the software will continue to function offline for 30 days, before reconnecting to the server to validate the license. This means that you can take your computer off the net temporarily, e.g. if you’re working on the road, without having to worry about getting your DAW software to work. If you’d rather not connect your DAW computer to the internet at all, that’s possible, too. According to Steinberg, there’ll be an option to log into your user account on a different machine and check out an offline license for a period of one year. This can then be installed on your offline DAW machine. From what we understand, you’ll have to repeat this process once a year. The new licensing system will make its debut in the upcoming release of Dorico 4 early next year, before being introduced to Cubase with the release of Cubase 12 at a later date. What do you think – is Steinberg’s new licensing system a good idea? And which new features do you hope for in Cubase 12? Let us know in the comments. The irony is that there are cracked copies of Cubase around, while legal customers are dealing with dongles. ![]()
