• Model locked errors: often resolved by restarting the MUS service; confirm all users saved and signed out before restarting.
• Check xs_server.log in ProgramData\TeklaStructuresServer for installation/startup/runtime diagnostics.
• If encountering IP/subnet mismatch issues, verify clients’ IP addressing and subnet masks are consistent and unique.
• For multiple MUS instances, ensure unique instance identifiers and ports to avoid conflicts.
