Troubleshooting

Google or any account is present on the device.

The following screen is displayed when the device has the User account or Google account, or any other account configured on it. Even after removing the accounts, if you are still getting the same error, then try Factory Reset of the device.

Seqrite mSuite client is already a device owner.

The following screen is displayed when the Seqrite mSuite client application is already provisioned as a Device Owner.

Device name not listed at the time of installation.

If your device is not getting listed when you enter the adb devices command in command prompt, then try to install the specific drivers for that particular device.

Device ownership is assigned to a third-party application.

If the issue persists then the device might be already provisioned as device owner by the OEM provider (manufacturer) and hence the device cannot be provisioned again with Seqrite mSuite client. In this case, you can enroll the Seqrite mSuite client with regular enrollment process by enabling Device Administrator.
