Location of project.db 2025 onwards

We have a couple of scripts/tools that looks at /opt/Autodesk/project/project.db to get a list of active projects on a given machine and we just noticed that it is no longer being updated since the move to 2025.

Does anyone know where it or it’s replacement lives now?

Hello Kyle!
There is no replacement for this file and I guess you could modify your script to look at the content of /optAutodesk/project to list the active projects.

Ah, ok. Sadly that folder does get a bit messy as it gets populated with other projects when you mount a remote flame/project but easy enough to filter those out.

You could also have a look at the Wiretap API, from which you would be able to get a list of all projects.

In my scripts, I grab the current project using the below snippet. Tail can be adjusted to grab all the projects.

current_project=$(ls -lrt /opt/Autodesk/clip/stonefs*/*.prj/*.wksp/.\#workspace.000.wks | tail -n 1 | cut -d "/" -f6 | cut -d "." -f1)
