    I guess it was because of an older Subversion Version ... I found in the Testcomplete Help that I can delete it from the .pjs File manually.

     

    Tried it and it worked. Not sure why I couldnt delete it within Testcomplete, changing the Source Controll with Testcomplete open and project closed did work but opening the Project Suite said, it has to change the settings as the Source Controll Version is different.

The source control that a project is "bound" to is stored in the MDS file and PJS file of the project and project suite.  You should unbind the project first from SVN, change your integration to GIT, and then rebind.

But how do I unbind it in TestComplete?

 

When I go into Tools Options and try to change it from SVN to None it only says it can not be changed while the project is open. Or do I have to delete some lines in the pjs file manually?

    Right click on the Project Suite in the Project Explorer, select "Source Control -> Unbind from SVN".  Then, once it's unbound, save the project suite.  You should then be able to change the source control settings and rebind to GIT.

      doesnt show the "Unbind from SVN", do I have to do something before?

        Shouldn't have to... what this means is that the project suite itself might not be "bound" to SVN.  Close the entire project suite but keep TC open... try changing your source control plugin at that point.
