### The edge repeatedly throws an "Authentication error. MAC or IP address already in use or not released yet by supernode" message. What is wrong?
The edge encountered n2n's protection against spoofing. It prevents that one edge's identity, MAC and IP address, can be impersonated by some other while the original one is still online, see some [details](Authentication.md). Mostly, there are two situations which can trigger this:
If you use a MAC or IP address that already is in use, just change those parameters.
If the edge prematurely has ended in a non-regular way, i.e. by killing it using `kill -9 ...` or `kill -SIGKILL ...`, it did not have a chance to un-register with the supernode which still counts the edge for online. A re-registration with the same MAC or IP address will be unsuccessful then. After two minutes or so the supernode will have forgotten. A new registration with the same parameters will be possible then. So, either wait two minutes or chose different parameters to restart with.
And, as a matter of principal, always end an edge by either pressing `CTRL` + `C` or by sending SIGTERM or SIGINT by using `kill -SIGTERM ...` or `kill -SIGINT ...`! A plain `kill ...` without `-9` will do, too. And finally, a `stop` command to the management port peacefully ends the edge as well.
the output shows that the '192.168.33.100' node is more than 2 minutes behind the other node 'last_seen', which results in this edge node not being able to be re-registered

I installed supernode on Windows Server 2019.
According to the documentation here, supernode should forget about the edge node after 2 minutes.
