public_key_in_use

Public key in use

HTTP 409

At launchOnly a request signed by a signed credential is answered this way, and signed credentials can be registered from launch.

The signature verified, but another signed credential has already activated this public key, so this one can't be activated with it. A public key is active for one credential at most, and once activated it is never activated again. Generate a new key pair, register its public key in the portal and activate that credential. A replacement refused this way can be revoked in the portal, and the credential it replaced then replaced again with the new key.

The problem body
