Unable to activate my n8n license with my license key into settings

Describe the problem/error/question I’m unable to activate my n8n license with the license key I received the email I received from n8n. I got a message saying: Activation failed; the license key has already been used.

What is the error message (if any)? Activation failed

Hi @jftrin

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :raised_hands:

You could try to clear any license attached with the n8n license:clear command before applying the license key.

If that didn’t work - please reach out to our support team directly at [email protected]

Hi ria,

Thank you for your help with this.
As per your instructions, I looked into my n8n account to clear the license but could not find anything in the sidebar menu that would lead me to it. I ended up sending the support team a message for their help.
Thanks again for your kind assistance.
