Deleted gateway - says already exists when I try register it back

I have accidentally deleted my 24E124FFFEF461C8 Gateway and I cannot register it back. It gives an error which says that the gateway already exists. How can I solve this problem.

Can you please read a bit as per below?

This one of those ‘it happens every week’ problems that are well covered on the forum. 2 steps for you

  1. read the error message carefully - what does it say?
  2. use forum search and all will be revealed

Clue: Gateway EUI =/= GAteway ID, though latter MAY be derived from former if you let it!..but when re-registering you cant/shouldnt!

Update: for (2) see above! :slight_smile: from Johan
