Hi,

I have a problem with one old Simatic manager project. When I try to open it in Simatic manager I get a banner "Project or library '...' are on write-protected medium or are protected by a rights assignment."

Even stranger is that when I open this project on my old Field PG I have no problems. This might be somehow related to Windows 10 update as far I googled this but I did not find a solution.
My new laptop and old Field PG are both running on Windows 10.

So far I tried:
- to right-click on the project folder and click Properties... unchecked the Read-Only checkbox.
- Tried to save the project to a different folder  with a different name

Has anyone else faced the same issue or has at least some hints to try to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi joppex,

Try to save the project on a C:\Folder\

And open it from there.

Okay, that was it! I did not stumble on that when googling.

Thank you Towome!

I solved the similar problem.

Error message "Netpro 2263:32" popped up when I just intended to change anything at network of simatic management, hintted "the projec xxx is write-protected and cannot be changed" 

By save as a new project with slow reorgnization or not, it doesn't work.The same error message showed again.

Just create a new project, and press the bottom ctrl-c to copy all from old project to the new project, then everything is ok, no error message again.

Try it! 

we had the same problem.
