Can't unlock explorer run on ADE Assembler

Thais

HI!

The default "ExplorerRun.0" is currently locked in ADE Assembler's history, and I don't remember having done that. Problem is that I can't unlock it, and as consequence, I can't run any simulations in ADE Explorer because it can't overwrite ExplorerRun.0.



As you can see, the unlock option is not available. I don't want to create another meastro view, so is there anything else I can do?

Thank you.

    Which IC sub-version are you using? Help→About in any window will tell you this. My guess is that it must be an early IC6.1.7 version because there was a fix in ISR8 to ensure that the Unlock menu was available for explorer histories (the ability to lock Explorer histories was removed in IC6.1.7 base release, although it could still be done via SKILL hence the requirement to reenable the Unlock menu). There's some discussions of workarounds in this article: How to resolve ERROR (EXPLORER-3038) when running simulation from ADE Explorer but some of those are probably not available if using a very early IC6.1.7 ISR. Let's see what you're using and then I may be able to suggest alternatives.
