Autodesk Vault 2014

[bachster]

I'm also excited that the Vault Server was included this year (thanks Phil!). We used Vault and Inventor 2011 last year and appreciated the ability to check in and out files and maintain some revision history, even when using the same computer as our server and client. I was excited to upgrade to 2014 for this season. I decided not to worry about any sort of data migration and started clean with the 2014 installation. Once I finally got rid of my old SQL installations and got the proper version of .net, the server setup went ok.

However, I'm having issues getting the Inventor plug-in to work. From Inventor, I can successfully log in to Vault and show status as connected, and I can open the independent Vault client, but that's it. The options to open/place and check in/out files from the Inventor ribbon are all grayed out. I've tried creating new project files both as a Vault project (which I later read is not supported in the Basic version of the Vault server) and single user project. I also used the autoloader to check in some existing files, which worked fine, but I can't check them out from Inventor. I also tried "repairing" the Inventor installation. I've tried logging in as both administrator and from a new account with full privileges. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help you can provide!
