Introduction

By default, XTM projects go into an archived state 15 days after any non activity is detected, or 5 days for the finished projects, for the XTM memory preservation reasons.

Projects can be manually reactivated by you up to one year from the moment they are archived in the XTM Cloud UI. If this period is exceeded, the archived project is moved to an external server, and its restoration must then be carried out by the XTM International Support team.

This article presents the most common causes of issues with involving project activation in the XTM Cloud UI.

When you are trying to activate a project which is older than one year, you are bound to encounter a problem.
