Allow users to activate inSync when the device host name is same
During device activation, inSync checks if the user has another device activated in inSync. In this case, it prompts the user to replace the device if any existing device has the same host name, serial number, orUUIDas the current device.
If any of the device parameters do not match, inSync gives the user the option to either add the device as a new device or replace an existing device.
By default, inSync checks for a hostname match. If you want to disable this option so that users can add a device despite a hostname match, contact Support.
If the option is enabled during integrated mass deployment, inSync automatically replaces the device without prompting the user.
