How do I open an online MemoQ project on my old computer using the file project.mprx?

I have to switch from my new computer back to my old computer. The online project has already been opened on my new computer and saved onto an external harddrive, the same external harddrive I now have connected to my old computer. But I get an error message when browsing to the file project.mprx and try to open it.

This is the error message I get:

Unable to open document

General error.

Check it out from the server Apr 17, 2020

The normal procedure would be to check out the online project from the server on the old computer.

Had the project been synchronised from the new computer – or did you work with auto sync.? If not, you should synchronise it now from the new computer – if it still works, which you don't tell us.

Check out a second time? Apr 17, 2020

The project works fine on the new computer, it's just that I need to ger more RAM installed in it. Until then, I have to use my old computer.

So I have to check it out a second time, even though the MemoQ files for this project on the external harddrive works fine on my new computer?

Yes. Just be sure to sync. the project from the new computer first.

Just moving the files on the external drive clearly isn't as simple as you think. The project has to be indexed, the paths identical, etc.
