adding bigip VM to BIgiq is throwing this exception

Question

Hi,
I am trying to discover the bigip LTE VM from BIGIQ VM GUI. I am getting the following exception and I am not sure why.&nbsp;
[I][2585][15 Jun 2015 23:52:22 UTC][8100/shared/device-discovery-tasks DeviceDiscoveryTaskCollectionWorker][processRemoteKeyPairFailure] Failed to post device-group cm-autodeploy-group-manager-autodeployment keys to device 192.168.6.157: Duplicate item. Key already exists: groupName : cm-autodeploy-group-manager-autodeployment
[I][2586][15 Jun 2015 23:52:24 UTC][8100/shared/device-discovery-tasks DeviceDiscoveryTaskCollectionWorker][completed] On device 192.168.6.157, patched device-group cm-autodeploy-group-manager-autodeployment key pair. That device can no longer communicate with devices using the old key.&nbsp;
Can anyone please do let me know what's happening here?
We are seeing this issues after we re-activated the expired license for BIGIQ.&nbsp;

A common cause for this issue is duplicate /config/f5-rest-device-id files on multiple BIG-IP devices.  This can happen if you have created your devices by cloning the VE or restoring a UCS file from another device.
This solution covers this issue:

You should now have a new f5-rest-device-id file.  Retry the discovery.&nbsp;
