F-Secure Known Issue: "A user with this email address already exists in OneID"

This knowledgebase article explains why orders for F-Secure are failing to provision.

Error description

If you place a change order for your active F-Secure customer, the order might fail with the message:

"A user with this email address already exists in OneID". 

or after resubmitting this order you get a different error:

"Error code 3510: Trying to create account, but account with name [name_#####] already exists."

Cause / failure reason

The issue is caused by change in behavior on the F-Secure portal side. In the past it would allow you to use the same e-mail address on multiple customer accounts. A recent change now disallows the re-use of the same e-mail address, or make changes to your active subscription before you use a unique e-mail address.

Workaround / Solution

To resolve the issue you will have to cancel the F-Secure subscription and order it again with the desired number of resources/licenses. Keep in mind that the license key will be renewed. Current installations of F-Secure will have to be renewed with the new license key.
