"This project is in use by another user" Bug

[Branden Richards]

Howdy,

Updated the 28 technology preview to the August 15th update as I left the office last night. When I came back, I wasn't able to open any of my technology preview files as I got the "This project is in use by..." message.

The problem is I'm the only person in my office using Archicad, I am on the same computer, same network, everything. Nothing has changed from yesterday to today except the update. Does anyone else have this problem? Do I just need to use exclusive access every time?

There must be a leftover file "Raboud.pln.lck" next to your original .PLN file that prevents the PLN to be opened simultaneously by more than one user. That file is created automatically when the PLN is in use. It is deleted when closed, but sometimes it is not.

Delete it manually if you know what you are doing!
