Error: Planner CS timed out while waiting for a lock...
Planner CS timed out while waiting for a lock on SYSTEM.UDX or CLIENT.UDX
You may see this error message when opening Planner CS if Planner CS closed unexpectedly and the connection to the plan lock was lost.
Solution 1
- Close any open plans, and ensure that Planner CS is closed on all other computers on the network.
- Go to and selectClear all locks.
- SelectClear Locks.
If you still receive the error, clear the lock manually.
- Go to X:\WinCSI\$UTPSYS\$UTPCID on your network, where X is the mapped drive or network location where Planner CS is installed.
- Search for a file name that contains the plan ID of the locked plan, and delete the file.
- SelectYes.
Solution 2
If you continue to receive the error after clearing locks, you may not have full permissions in the $UTPSYS folder. Your IT professional should refer to permissions guidelines for the CS Professional Suite for more information.
