Error: Can't open client. The Fixed Assets client is network locked out by user

Scenario

Cannot open client [client id]: The Fixed asset client is network locked out by user.

Cause

Solution 1: Close the client elsewhere

If the client is open in another year of UltraTax CS, close it. If you have a client with depreciation open in one version and you attempt to open it in another, this message will appear.
If someone else at your firm has the client open, they will need to close it before you can open it.

Solution 2: Clear the lock in the application

In Fixed Assets CS or UltraTax CS, choose
Help
and select
Repair
.
Open the
File Locks
tab.
Choose the client and select
Delete Lock
.

Solution 3: Manually delete the lock

Right-click your Start button, and select Open Windows Explorer.
On your computer navigate to
X:\WinCSI\DeprData\$DEPCID
, where X is the drive letter where UltraTax CS is installed.
Select the Client with the lock you want to delete, and press
Delete
on your keyboard.
Select
Yes
to confirm the delete.
Try to open the client again.
