Local File Incompatible with Central File - Revit 2010 Error??

[ekneer]

Hello all,

I've been using Revit 2010 for months now on Windows Vista with no problems. However, we recently updated to Windows 7, and ever since I receive the following error message when I try to save my local file (see attached for actual error message):

"The file you are attempting to synchornize with the central file is not compatible with the central file. This could be due to an upgrade to a newer version of Revit or because the central file was substituted with an unrelated file using the same name. You must create a new local file and copy/paste any changes made to your original local file into the new file"

I've already created a new local file from my Revit 2010 central file, and the problem persists.

Any ideas?

Another update as I continue to try and debug the problem.

I just tried create a new central file by "Save as - Create New Central File" and got the error message of "File not saved".

That's it. No other information other than it won't let me save a central file either. I checked and it is recognizing my license, so there isn't an issue there.

Any other ideas that could help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Solved my problem. It was a network error on our end. Nothing wrong with the program or installation.

False alarm. Thanks anyway to anyone who may have spent time checking it out.

Hey I have the same issue could you tell me what the problem with the network is?

We are using the Novell Network Client, and I believe that the new version was incompatible with Revit 2010's network licensing. So my IT staff I believe had to downgrade the version to get it to recognize the license server.

That's as far as my understanding goes. Hope this helps.
