Eagle 7.7 Access is denied

ande
ande over 9 years ago

Hi,

When updated to 7.7 I can't save or open files. When opening it says: Locking of  (folder location) schem_2.sch failed. Access is denied.

And when closing Eagle 7.7 it says : Can't open (Folder  ) eaglerc.~~~   -> Permission denied.

 

I haven't change any folder options and older version are working just ok.

    You can easily reopen the files. Just follow the advice in the message window.

    This is a new "feature" in 7.7.0 from Autodesk. image

    The file locking cough "feature" cough was much earlier in the 7.x

    release series and has caused lots of people to have issues. The best

    advice is to just turn the darn thing off in the preferences and never

    think about it again. If it's still being problematic I think there is a

    lock file you can delete to get around the locking?

     

    I don't think there is anything new in 7.7 that Autodesk specifically added

    is there? I thought they just changed the default so that feature was

    turned off by default?

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    I've never had this problem before V7.7.0
    Once I also was in this "bird trap".

    "Are you the owner?" "Another user has ..." "" "uff ,,, uff ,,,,
    I know that from Autodesk (in the 19xx, the software was closed with hardware dongles) but not from Cadsoft.

     

    Best Regards

    File Locking is since V7.5 default. "HELP File-Locking".

    This is a property to prevent two users from editing the same

    file at the same time. It has nothing to do with the licensing.

    ok, i understand. Yes you're right, i remember about this.

    I'm a single user (1 workstation) with single license.

    And all projects are coming from me with my username.

    Hm....
