Projects "Not Available" in Dashboard [solved]

[sandersd]

Greetings to all. I just upgraded to 12 from 10. I have a perpetual license, it's activated, my ILOK 3 shows activations, and I can load and play the demo project that comes with ProTools 12.

I don't think this is a license or activation issue since I can play the demo project But I don't know why I can't load a new project that I create. I get the following messages:

However, when I go to my ILOK window and select Protools 12>Activate the window pops up asking for a location to activate to but no locations show up as available, so maybe it is an activation issue:

But then why would the demo project play?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Found this in the PT12 Read Me:

Creating or receiving new projects or tracks may result in a “Permission denied (13)” dialog (PT-212334)
When creating or receiving new projects or tracks, a “Permission denied (13)” dialog may be displayed. Should this issue occur, open the “Operation” tab in the Pro Tools Preferences window and, in the “User Media and Settings Location” pane, click the Project Media Cache “Change” button to set a new location for the Project Cache. The new location should be a folder either outside of the default Pro Tools folder or off of the startup disk if possible.

Changed my settings accordingly and everything seems to work. Woo Hoo!
