Capture to Allegro PCB Layout Error for constraint-enabled flow

 When I try to Update my layout, I get this error each time. How would I fix this? Then in PCB Layout I get the error at the bottom. Does the license difference have to do anything whit this? I'm using the standard license and another person used the professional.

    The message “Cannot determine connectivity differences because the schematic and layout are not compatible for the constraint-enabled flow.” appears typically when the layout file is not yet Constraint Manager-enabled.

    The next steps are as follows: 

    Click Sync to synchronize layout with schematic.
    After successful update of the layout file, the Constraint Difference Report window appears indicating the status of the transferred constraints.

    Select PCB Update Schematic. The Update Schematic dialog box opens.

    Click Sync to synchronize schematic with layout. The Report Summary window appears indicating the status of the transferred constraints.

    Click the Constraint Manager icon to open Constraint Manager.You can see the constraints in Constraint Manager.

    After a successful run of the Update Schematic operation, the constraint migration process complete
