Error: Existing account already linked

If more than one individual uses your AWS Account, you may receive an error that this AWS Account has already been linked to an existing AWS builder ID. 

If you wish to proceed with the AWS Activate application and your company’s AWS Account is linked to the AWS Builder ID of someone else at your company or your prior AWS Builder ID, in order for you to complete the AWS Activate credit application, you will need to unlink the currently linked AWS Builder ID and link your current AWS Builder ID.

Note: Any published data in your company’s Showcase profile will become unpublished, however it will be maintained in a draft if you wish to republish it.
