Failed to convert an older project file

Failed to convert an older project file

Problem
The project file was not convertedbecause:
  • Do not have the required security permission to access the project.
  • One or more components in the project are protected by License Source Protection, and the
    CmStick
     containing the license is not present on the computer.
  • One or more components in the project are protected by License Source Protection, which is not supported on the selected controller in this version of the
    Logix Designer
     application.
  • One or more safety components in the project are protected by License Source Protection. which is not supported on the selected controller in this version of the
    Logix Designer
     application.
    Compact GuardLogix 5380. CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, ControlLogix 5580, and GuardLogix 5580 controllers
    do not support License Source Protection for safety components.
  • The
    Logix Designer
     application found a recovery file for the project to open. The recovery file was created in an older version of
    Logix Designer
     than is currently installed.
Solution
To resolve the
problem
:
  • Check with your Security Administrator to verify sufficient access to the project.
  • Insert the appropriate
    CmStick
     containing the required license. Refer to the error message to see the firm code and product code of the missing license.
  • Remove License Source Protection from the project or components before importing them, or open the project using a
    ControlLogix
     5570 controller or a
    CompactLogix
     5370 controller.
  • Open the recovery file in the version of the
    Logix Designer
     application in which it was created. That application version presents the option to use the recovery file or the last saved file version.
  • Delete the recovery file from the system and try converting it again.
    TIP:
    If the recovery file is hidden, it does not appear in your directory. Show hidden files to view all files.
