Hello, When I run ./identity\_linux\_amd64 authorize storagenode email:characterstring With a already used ident token I receive already claimed. 1. My question is how is this possibly is the a central database? 1. I set up two nodes. And signed my identity with different Tokens but the same key generation process. Does this work. Because the 2 nodes seemed to be running ---

Each node must have an own signed unique identity. If you will run more than a one node with the same identity it will be disqualified within minutes. ---

Is the nodeid the same for both? If yes - you can remove it and generate a two new identities. This one will be disqualified anyway. ---

@Alexey Yes i see it the node id was from both the same. I removed the scond node. Shall I remove also the 1 node. Because Audit Check is still 100% ---

Please, use these scripts to see your audit score: [Script for Audits stat by satellites](https://forum.storj.io/t/script-for-audits-stat-by-satellites/988) If it would be below 0.6 for the satellite, your node will be disqualified on that satellite You must generate a different identity for each node. And use own authorization tokens to sign them ---
