Hello, I installed the Xbench plugin for trados 2017, but I cannot run this plugin. I can see the Xbench ribbon botton on the right top side of the trados, but the message says : “Could not find X bench at to launch it. Is it istalled? If not, please download it from [www.xbench.net](http://www.xbench.net).” Can I get some advice? ---

The Xbench plugin for SDL Trados Studio requires Xbench 3.0 to be installed on your computer. Xbench 3.0 and the plugin for Studio have separate installers. Xbench 3.0 (32-bit and 64-bit version) is available for download at [http://www.xbench.net/index.php/download](http://www.xbench.net/index.php/download). If you have not used Xbench 3.0, you must sign up to register a new user. Just run Xbench 3.0: 1. Go to **Project \> Sign In**. 2. Click **Sign Up**. 3.
