TI SPICE reports "File is read only or used"

FL20250929850

I am using TI SPICE and try to run a simulation which works for the initial downloaded TI package (TL431). I can start the simulation as it it was provided by TI download.

But I can not save or change the simulation profile or schematic: Message is following

- tran is read only: can not update

- schematic is read only

In general it seems that the whole project is read only. 

How can I change it from read only to editable?

    Hi, 

    Can you try copying the project to your local directory and then re-check.

    Example copy the project to C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\

    and then try to re-open.

    Also, can you right click the project and select properties, there do you find read-only box checked?

    Hi,

    right clicking the project and selecting the properties and updating (deactivate) "read-only" box did the trick. I can change and update now.

    Thanks a lot for the good and fast help.
