Well, if "access" means that they send you a username/password (that you don't have to pay for separately) for an online system that you can't get a username/password for by yourself, then yes, quite a few. Another type of "access" is if they give you a username/password for a system that you could, theoretically, get your own username/password for by yourself (without paying anything), but they want you to use their account.

One day I might just get a licence for myself, if the need arises, but since the only type of work I'm interested in really doesn't justify using a CAT tool, it's highly unlik... See more Looks like someone saw my response to the poll yesterday and wondered who else was in my situation.

It's a memoQ license. I think it's the best CAT tool to translate video games "online" - with, say, two translators and one reviewer working on the same project.

I only tried that once (MemoQ) but I disliked the idea of them being able to see what I was doing. So I'll never accept that kind of work again.
