I'm trying to run a second dedicated server on my server box. It appears to start correctly, but everyone connecting gets kicked and the error: "You cannot connect to the server: Activation error: Please activate your account ' TheSzerdi'." (The name changes depending on who tries to connect.) I've disabled EAC on both servers and still get this error. Anyone know how to fix it?

My other admin had initially installed the dedicated server tool via the Steam client and not the SteamCMD. Apparently being linked to the server's steam account caused problems with multiple servers. I redownloaded the dedicated server via SteamCMD with anonymous login and copied the save files, .bat launch files, and dedicated.yaml files to the new dedicated server directory. This solved the problem.
