You already have another instance of Subspace application using the same farm. Stop it before starting Pulsar.

Hello Nazar,

After I spent a day trying to run pulsar ( **pulsar-windows-x86\_64-skylake-v0.8.0-alpha.exe** ) I decided to go to “advanced cli”. Now I’m running to separate processes ( **subspace-node-windows-x86\_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-feb-15.exe and subspace-farmer-windows-x86\_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-feb-15.exe** ) and farm looks ok.  
To be clear when I experimented with pulsar it was only one instance one the same machine, so the problem was not in some “parallel instances”. I also tried to manually setup pulsar cpu affinity to 8 cores but the down not help.
