REVIT 2020 not allowing me to save or print

[Anonymous]

This is my first post on this forum, so I am still learning how everything works.

I have been working with this file for a couple weeks now, and it was saving just fine until about a week in.

Now, I am receiving a "file not saved," message when I try to save or "save as." (when I try to save as, the error will come up before asking me to choose a file location)

Additionally, I receive a "file not printed" error when I try to print in any way, including print to pdf.

When I go to the top right and click "manage license," this other weird error shows up saying it is unavailable.

However, when I open and try to save the original copy of the file before I made changes, it saves just fine.

Have you been keeping the same session of Revit running (i.e. not closing Revit and re-opening it regularly, such as closing it each evening and opening it each morning)? That could be an issue per the last post of this forum discussion: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/try-to-save-model-and-get-the-following-mass...

I get that message sometimes when I'm loopy and try to save project while I'm inside another command/operation, such as sketch mode.

what concerns me is the last image you posted about the license manager. if Revit cant verify the license, it may not let you save or print. id start there..... like @Redrunner92 asked, when was the last time you saved and/or closed Revit?

Good Point, guys. 

@Anonymous: Are you running in "Viewer Mode"?
