Error "Sorry, an error (403) occurred registering USB Flash GUID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" on key registration


Recommended Posts

I am attempting to install my key on a new server with a different USB stick. I attempted to use the "Replace Key" function, type in my e-mail address but I get the error:

 

Sorry, an error (403) occurred registering USB Flash GUID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The error is: GUID 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' is already registered to another user

Yes, this is the e-mail address I used to originally purchase the key.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, any suggestions?

If that error is given on a new USB stick then it is likely that the new stick does not have a unique GUID.   What brand/model is the stick?   Some manufacturer’s re-use the same GUID on all their USB sticks rather than giving them each unique GUID’s.
