PCS 7 Management Console Not Working Properly Says Must be Reinstalled when Adding an IPC to Network
When installing and running SIMATIC Management Console,
I am able to see all the computers on the current subnet and connected to the Management Console PC.
When trying to add the Management Console pc to Network an error pops up saying:
"A SIMATIC Management Console error occurred.
Remedy: restart SIMATIC Management Console or restore data, or re-install SIMATIC Management Console."
I have tried reinstalling Management Console and Management Agent several times and restarting the pc,
but it still gives the same error.
The version is V9.1 SP1 Update 3 and running on the latest version of PCS7.
I have read the manual many times and checked everything such as user rights and services running, but nothing has fixed it.
I have also noticed that SIMATIC Management Agent Configurator does not see Management Console and just has "-----" for where it should name the console.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated, thank you!
