Version Control Functions are disabled

[SANS Ltd.]

Hello,

we try to check out a model from our SVN repository. We use Tortoise Git for the initial checkout and SlikSVN as SVN client for EA. Since the .eap file is also distributed through this SVN, we create a local copy of it and open it with the EA. EA asks for Version Control Settings which are entered correctly. When clicking on Save in the Version Control Setting dialog, everything seems to be fine, no error message box appears. Afterwards All entries in Project -> Version Control and in the Context Menu of the Project Explorer -> Package Control are disabled.
In Tools -> Local Directories and Paths, the path to the SVN shows up correctly.
What is wrong here?
The EA License is Corporate, as on the machine where the EA model was initially created, the EA versions are 12 from Feb. 2015

Is your eap file read-only? That's one of the reasons why we don't recommend version controlling an eap file.
