DatabaseRestoreError-580

When attempting to restore a backup of PortfolioCenter database I received the following (rather intimidating error) pictured above:

Restore failed for Server: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use.

Closing and re-opening the PortfolioCenter Management Console failed to solve the problem.  Neither did restarting the computer solve it.

However the fix is simple (once you know what it is).

ActiveConnections-580

Click the Active Connections button (the last one on the list) and then select “Close All Connections” (even if no connections are listed).

Need help?
