duplicate license

Hi,

I am building out a new dev environment, and I just created a bunch of new indexers on brand new vm's. I also setup a search-head, and pointed it at my dev license mgr. So far, so good. However, when I setup distributed-searching, I am getting a "duplicate license" on the new search-head. All the new servers are pointing at my dev license mgr. I logged into my dev license mgr, and looked at the licensing and the distributed-searching, and I don't see that message anywhere.

Any suggestions?

Never mind - my bad. License file got moved over by mistake as part of the chef recipe.

Which version of splunk you are using? Have you checked that you have not added license on your search head?
