Hello, as an Adobe Illustrator user, ever since I started using Illustrator, my files have been getting locked without my permission. After finishing my designs, I save them from the File menu using “Save” or “Save As.” However, one or two days later, when I try to reopen my design from the “Recent” section, I receive the following warning:

“The illustration cannot be opened. The file is locked or in use. ID: -54”

I tried right-clicking the file and selecting “Unlock,” but I couldn’t even right-click on it.

I urgently need your help. Thank you for your attention.

I have a very similar issue

I don't know if it was an update or what... but a couple of days ago my Illustrator started showing an error every time I wanted to save a file (see picture), being a newfile or a file I was previously working on, and trying to save modifications. I'm running Illustrator 2022 v26.3, my system info is attached (see picture).

Hi I bought a new iMac 4 months ago.
I work on Monterey 12.2.1.
From day one it was glitchy in illustrator and now in Photoshop.

I create a file and save it onto our server. When I go to reopen it I get the 'cant open the document as it's either locked or in use' pop up.

If I drag the file onto my desk top (it tells me with another pop up that I can't do that as I don't have permission, but does it anyway).
I can then usually open the file.

This is my work computer and I recently sent off the wrong artwork for print because I'd forgotten the re-drag it onto the server.

I can't work like this and its untenable when I have lots and lots of artwork to complete.
I have re installed my Adobe suite and it's not solved it.

Is it the software or the hardware that is at fault and how do I cure it?

We are getting an error message when we are loading our .aip file on Adobe Illustrator that says: "Can't open the illustration. The file is locked or in use." ID:-54
Approaches (we followed to resolve this issue) :
Uninstalled and reinstalled AI several times.
We have checked the OS dependencies and verified with latest OS as compatible with AI.
We have created plugins again and tried to load same in illustrator but problem remain same.
We have rechecked and updates some build configuration but same issue again.
We have verified the path of output folder and checked with via doing rename also.
We have set the breakpoints also in our code for debugging purpose.
Checked the access privileges also.
We have checked with sample SDK project also. We have generated the .aip file after doing the build process on Xcode and tried to load on AI but same issue happened.
