Root Cause 1: Permission issue on the workspace folders
Root Cause 2: Multiple Active Console sessions are open that conflict with each other
Root Cause 3: Active Console version compatibility with workspace file

Solution Root Cause 1: On the Active Console, select Help => About menu and scroll down to see the section Workspace Information. Please check whether the file paths are on a network drive. Make sure the user has read and write permissions for the folders.

Solution Root Cause2: If the user wants to run multiple sessions of Active Console, each Active Console should be configured to use a unique working directory. Please look for the -wsp parameter in the ActiveConsole.gci configuration file.
Solution Root Cause 3: Over the years new features have been added to Active Console. Older versions of Active Console may not be compatible with workspace files saved in newer versions. It is recommended to use the same or newer versions of Active Console to open and save existing workspace files.
