noynekker 143 Posted December 17, 2020 I had a Cakewalk project idea on the go, which eventually turned into a good idea . . . so, I renamed it and moved it to a folder in Cakewalk Projects directory . . . then opened the project and saved it using a per project Cakewalk folder. Basic stuff ? Now, when I open the next day and try try to save it I get this "Sharing Violation" message, like it's in use somewhere else in Windows ? . . . the only way to keep my new changes is to do a "Save As" So, now I have 7 project versions, because of this. It's like The Edge of Tomorrow movie . . . every day this error repeats itself. Once I do a "Save As" I can properly save all my edits . . . until tomorrow, when I get the "Sharing Violation" message again . . . have to do "Save As" to a new version. Anyone experienced this ? . . . and know a way out of this perpetual time loop I'm trapped in ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 2,581 Posted December 17, 2020 Using anything than needs an elicense? If so, this was the problem reported in this thread around on page 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 143 Posted December 17, 2020 Scook, nothing in my Cakewalk world should need an eLicense . . . but I do have HaLion Sonic by Steinberg loaded as VST in this project which runs on the eLicense . . . you think that's the issue ? . . . I haven't seen this in the many other Cakewalk projects where I use HaLion Sonic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mkerl 48 Posted December 17, 2020 Same Issue here for several weeks now. Still hoping for an update of the elicenser-app from Steinberg . . . it's annoying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 143 Posted December 19, 2020 I read the thread scook was referring to . . . seems there is no fix for this yet, all the software developers have to figure this out, so the rest of us just have to use the workaround "Save As" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 88 18 Posted January 28 (edited) Hey, I have this problem now too. I have a workaround. Freeze HaLion before save. Then when you re-open unfreeze. Edited January 28 by Jimbo 88 grammer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noel Borthwick 2,069 Posted January 29 Steinberg has fixed this but have not released the patch to elicenser. They sent me a patch over a month ago. If you need it PM me and I can forward the link. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdickens 217 Posted January 29 I'm getting the same thing too. The workaround I found has been to alternately "save as" 2 different versions of the title such as [Title] and [Title1] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here are two scenarios I have tried. Open Previous Project and Save without doing a SAVE AS - FIXED Started an Empty Project, Loaded VSL Synchron Pianos and HALionSonic - Save - FIXED I also was able to save some previous broken projects with their pre-release version. It also appears the version number was bumped up a little more as well. I would say go get it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
