not sure if this is possible, I doubt it, but...
I work in a facility, AE projects are worked on by many artists. If 2 artists unknowingly open the same project on the server, they can unknowingly save over each other's work..
Is there a script, when run, would check to see if anyone else has the project open?
thanks!
script to check if project is open on other system

Hi,
I think you're right, this is beyond the scope of After Effects as determining who has a file open is quite a low level operating system task.
The following page looks like it may cover a technique to let you do this:

Hope this helps,
