Project location error - Please help

Question

Hi everybody! I hope you're able to help. 
 When I'm starting a new project, I fill in all the field and also the project location. This was never a problem. Please view screenshot of the settings. 
 
 This way a new folder is made for every new project. However, when I click next, I now get the following error message: 
 
 This path was used a long time ago, but somehow Trados now want to make a new project there every time. If I click OK..the project is made in the path you see in the error message. I cannot find anyplace, where this location is set , or why it gives the error... does anyone have any experience in dealing with this? 
 I use Studio 2014

Hi Arjen Kramer , 
 
Rename your projects.xml and add your projects back one at a time with the correct path that is accessible for you. You'll find it here: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Studio 2017\Projects\projects.xml

ok - so use the location for 2014. Obviously a typo from me as I copied the path to my own projects folder.

Hi Arjen Kramer , 
 
Try a reset and if this doesn't help log a support case. It does look as though it's related to mapping somewhere between your MAC and Windows. To do the reset... Rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\11.0.0.0 
 
So the path would become this: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\11.0.0.0_old 
 
If you can't find this folder then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:

To log a case use this link: 
 
 gateway.sdl.com/liveagentlicensing 
 
You have two options: 
 
1. Submit a case using a webform 
2. Use live chat to get a licence reset 
 
You want to use the first option and make sure that you refer to this thread so the teams can see what you have tried already.
