Getting "More free space for physical agents" trying to add a new agent

Question

From this link you can see that the agents have been renamed to Pipelines. https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/setup-admin/team-services/get-more-build-or-load-testing-vs

It also states that "private agents are now free and unlimited." From assembly and release, resource limits, I show one free pipeline.

We tried to add a second private agent to our VSTS and received an error:

"There are no more agent seats, please purchase more. For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=623705 Current Max: 1 Xaml Controllers: 0 Build Agents: 1"

It can be seen from the above link that we did what we needed to do, and should be able to add additional agents. Any idea why we cannot add an additional agent and Current max is 1?

Answer 1

Thanks for reporting this. There seems to be a problem with the logic, so a team of technicians is about to deploy a fix that should fix this problem. You are right: you can have unlimited agents and parallel pipelines - this is what we are moving to in order to charge for the fact that several agents can use pipelines, if necessary.
