Why am I getting “Too Many Active Commands” message in Predator DNC logs?

Why am I getting “Too Many Active Commands” message in Predator DNC logs?

Overview

Predator DNC is trying to open more ports than you are licensed for. You either have too many machines configured or you have more then one PXP configuration file open. If you do have too many machines/commands configured, request an upgrade from your Account Executive. 

Check Available Ports

  1. While running Predator DNC v11 Administrator, expand all machines
  2. Now count all remote commands (calculators), that number should be less than or equal to the total ports shown in the title bar 

  3. If you exceed this number, you have too many active commands and need to purchase additional licenses, contact Shop Floor Automations for additional information

Close Additional PXP Configuration file

  1. In Predator DNC, go to Window menu to check if more than one PXP configuration file is open

  2. Select the extra PXP configuration file
  3. Go to Command > Cancel All
  4. Go to File > Close

  5. Now that only the intended PXP configuration file is open, go to File > Save All
