How to fix this? System allows only a single device to be registered. If you need to replace your existing device you should delete it first. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.

    Hi

     

    A2019 only allows 1 registered device.

     

    Ensure AA Bot agent services is running by checking services.msc. Do a restart if needed.

     

    Then delete device, and try adding again. Ensure credentials are correct.

    Dear AA Team,

     

    1) There is no option to delete device

    2) When i try to connect local device, throwing below error:

     

    System allows only a single device to be registered. If you need to replace your existing device you should delete it first.

    If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.

    Code: devicemanagement.register.validation.single.device

     

    Note:

    I tried to reinstall/repair bot, tried to stop/restart service - No luck.

     

    Could you please guide me here?

    I'm using community-version with 30 days trial (https://trial.cloud.automationanywhere.digital/

    Note:

    I tried to reinstall/repair bot, tried to stop/restart the service and when I tried to delete 

    Cannot delete device, as it is part of an active bot deployment
