Hello,

I recently had a Splunk developer license and when it expired I changed it to a free academic license.
I got a new developer license (enterprise license) and wanted to change my Splunk license to this but I get the following error when trying to add this license:

 

Bad Request — In handler 'licenses': web_1403609268.84.lic: failed to add because: stackid=enterprise does not support license stacking

 

What to do? Wow to overcome this issue?

Best regards,
Andi
