Error initializing emulator: MSP-FET430UIF is already in use, and cannot update CCS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPWARE

Hi, I am running Ubuntu 14.1 on my macbook pro, with a recently downloaded CCS 6. However, I am unable to connect my MSP430-FR5969 micro controller to my laptop to simulate my research team's code. This is an essential part of my team and we cannot continue work and are at a complete standstill until this issue is resolved. We tried two different laptops (both macbook pros running Ubuntu 14.1) with multiple different MSP units, but none worked. We always go the error: 

Error initializing emulator: MSP-FET430UIF is already in use

when we connected the MSP430 device via USB cables. We tried updating CCS to see if the dll or COM ports weren't updated, but that said no updates were found and gave the error that no update repository was initialized. We fixed the updates issue and managed to update the MSPWARE, but we still are having errors connecting our MSP device to our laptops running CCS 6.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.1.

We are currently applying for licenses to use the IAR software instead of CCS if that might work better, but we would really like to get this working with CCS. We have looked through these forums and found similar errors, but none of those solutions worked for us. We would really appreciate any suggestions, advice, or help, as our workflow is completely stalled until this issue is resolved, and we have fast approaching deadlines that we cannot meet without this software's cooperation!

Thanks from the University of Michigan space research crew!!
