Hi,
This issue has been raised before, but I could not find a clear answer.
Basically, when I try to add my device to the Dashboard, I get the error:
Activation Rejected: {"code":1409,"message":" Device already exists"} --> error
I tried all the suggested solutions in the other posts (rebooted, cleared the registration data, re-activated, etc), but I always get the same result ("Device already exists"). I'm not doing anything special and I start from scratch, so why is this not working?
I'm using the latest image. This is the only device I have, so my Dashboard currently has 0 devices registered.
More specifically, here is what I did:
1. Dashboard>Devices>Trash icon (Delete all of them)
2. Reboot Edison: reboot
3. In this order:
systemctl status iotkit-agent
systemctl stop iotkit-agent
iotkit-admin initialize
Dashboard>MyAccount>Details>Refresh Activation Code
iotkit-admin activate "activation_code"
And that's where I get the error code.
I'm using my smartphone as a local hotspot for the Edison WIFI, and I use a separate network for the computer which accesses my Dashboard.
Thanks,
Benoit

Hi.
I was in same trouble,but just now I could register my Edison.
my English is not good but hope you understand me
Is your Edison's device ID 00-00-00-00-31-00?
I tried to change my device ID by
iotkit-admin set-device-id < device ID you like >
And activate it.
I resolved it by this way.

Thanks edisondeiot. I don't have my kit with me today but I will try this tomorrow.
I don't remember if the ID was 00-00-00-00-31-00, but it was something similar.
Regards,
Benoit

Excellent! It worked!
Thank you very much edisondeiot!
Incredible. Who would have known that we have to change the original unit ID.
I changed it to 00-00-00-00-48-00.
