When I close the project it locks and I can never edit again. If I delete pprlock the files within the project disappear. When I try to disable project locking, it won't let me, please help I'm so sick of this.

Are you using a Team Project then? And I must say, I'm not familiar with that screen you posted. I've done a lot of Team and Productions in collaboration for a couple years now. So ... I'm perhaps as puzzled as you.

 

And I have many times deleted the prprlock files without anything happening to the project files. This is ... very odd, somehow.

I don't believe so, I just started a regular project like any other.

A screen grab of the folder on your local drive with the project file in it would be handy ... showing the lock file too.

Go to your Preferences/Collaboration, and make sure that Project Locking is not checked. Also ... make sure you're not working on a Team project.

The point of the post is that it's greyed and out and checked, so I'm not able to uncheck it.

Then why are you using project locking?

I'm not? It automatically enabled itself. I never turned it on willingly.

Are you using this as an individual license, or as part of a team or enterprise license?
