I’ve been looking to enable the Troubleshoot add-on since last Friday. When I upgraded our account from trial to Professional, it disabled the Remote Terminal while we were actively using it. So I then tried to add the Troubleshoot add-on, but [hosted.mender.io](http://hosted.mender.io) just says “request submitted” every time. Who is looking at these requests and when will it be looked at…?

Hello @Michael-staytuned.co,

I already enabled it in your account. Can you double check?

Hi @Michael-staytuned.co,

We face the same issue, the Troubleshooting Add-On is in Pending state for long, could you enable it at the earliest?

Appreciate your help.

Hi,

I’m facing the same issue with the Troubleshoot add-on on Hosted Mender (EU).

**Plan:** Basic, 50 Standard devices **Add-on:** Troubleshoot × 50 devices

**Steps I followed:**

1. Went to Settings → Upgrade/Add-ons and selected the Troubleshoot add-on

2. The subscription page showed the correct new price

3. Clicked **“Confirm Subscription”** — it said success and logged me out to refresh tokens

4. After logging back in, the Troubleshoot add-on shows as **not active** — the Remote Terminal tab is not visible on any device

5. When I try to confirm the subscription again, I get the error:

On the device side, `mender-connect` is installed and running, but the logs show a continuous `websocket: bad handshake` error, which confirms the server is rejecting the WebSocket connection because the add-on is not active server-side.

I need to intervene urgently on my remote devices. Any help activating the add-on would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Could someone from the Mender team manually enable the Troubleshoot add-on on my account?

Thank you for your help! 🙏
