No licence? Feb 9, 2018

This is a standard situation when you use the free (no-licence) MemoQ version. If you buy a licence, this restriction will disappear and you'll have all functions and options at your disposal.

I meet the technical requirements to use MemoQ Free : one project - one document - one translation memory

Limitations of the Free version are listed as follows: Feb 10, 2018

- Your projects can have only one document.
- Each time you start working you need to create a new project and a new translation memory for that project.
- It is not possible to use memoQ translator free in memoQ online projects.
- You can't add previously created translation memories or term bases to your project.
- You can't open previous translation jobs with more than one documents.
- It is not possible to align documents and build up translation memories.

So, maybe one of them applies to your situation.

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago, before buying a full licence and in my case the problem was:

- Each time you start working you need to create a new project and a new translation memory for that project

Hope this helps,

thank you, Elif Feb 10, 2018

It seems the problem is that I need to create a new Project each time I start working.
I am waiting for Proz to offer memoQ at reduced price.

Do you know where I can download a User Manual for memoQ ? Not just the elementary Starting Guide available at memoQ web site.

I referred to the various webinars, Kilgray's knowledgebase and smaller guiders like the Getting started series. However, I don't recall having used a comprehensive single-volume guide, if this is what you are looking for.

got the same problem - please help Apr 22, 2018

I do have the same problem - using the MemoQ free version - so after a system crash I wanted to open my project again and got the same error message as shown in your post. My project also meets the memoq free requirements (one document and one associated TM) ... so I dont understand what's the problem.
Can you please tell me how you solved the issue! K
