Can not start my server (max slot limit reached)

[TS.ChrisR]

The error came after 1 minute. Means the server started to communicate with accounting service.
And in accounting slots are already registered.

Or wasn’t server 1 started the same time? Can not see it from log 0.

• So it could be that you killed the process or forget to shutdown your old instance.
  Search for other any other tsserver process on your systems.

• Or your license is in use on another machine or someone else in case you did send it to someone in the past.

Reminder: Make sure you always stop the server this way! else you have to wait for 2-3 hours.

@TS.ChrisR
