Cluster error when trying to apply server settings

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Has anyone ever gotten the error "A cluster node has been added, please enter the control number" when trying to apply changes to the server settings? I only have a single stand-alone server, so I don't understand where this is coming from. Any help would be appreciated.

You must enter de Control Number in the "general" Tab of the Server Settings and not apply. Go to the setting you want to change ,change it and than apply. Works fine

Can you show a screen shot of where you are trying to enter your license?

Ok, so you are trying to cluster two servers. You have added the license to the first server (in the place i showed you in the screen shot ) and that one is working ok. Now when you try to add the second server you put in the license number and control mumber and hit applied get the message?

Hi pkrolicki, I solved the same problem with your description, there's no context with clustering cause I have an SBE installation - thanks a lot.

This is not a bug. You can't cluster SBE servers. Also, to cluster your license has to have a cluster node setting.

Hello pkrolicki. Did you manage to sort out the problem ? It begun to occor in one of our SBE servers where definitely NO "Cluster installation" was ever even tried.

Thanks in advance

Hello Pkrolicki, We do know that cluster licenses are "different"; Now this is an "old" production server that has been running for almost 3 years, always with the up-to-date QVserver version, and all of the suddenly it begun to show this message. The solution was a "full uninstall" and then a fresh new install.
