#### Check the setting of the related product used for creating account on a specific platform

* In the Back Office, navigate to **Products** > **Products**.
* Click the **Edit** button for the relevant product to open its details.
* Review the following fields:

  * **Max accounts** – the maximum number of accounts a client can create per currency for this product. The client may have exceeded this limit.
  * **Min deposit amount (USD)** – the minimum deposit required to open an account. If the client doesn’t meet this requirement, the account can’t be created.

  For more details about these settings, refer to refer to [Products](https://docs.b2core.b2broker.com/back-office-guide/products/products#details).
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Verify that the product currency is assigned to the correct platform group

* In the Back Office, navigate to **Products** > **Products**.
* Click the **Edit** button for the relevant product to open its details.
* Go to the **Currencies** tab.
* Click the **Edit** button for the required currency.
* Check the selected group in the **Platform group** dropdown and adjust it if needed. These are the groups created on the respective platform. The available currency options are limited by the settings of the configured platform groups.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Check the limit on the number of allowed accounts in the client details

* In the Back Office, navigate to **Clients** > **General**.
* Click the **Edit** button for the relevant client.
* Go to the **Settings** tab.
* Review the fields:

  * **Max Demo Trading Accounts**
  * **Max Live Trading Accounts**

  If limits are set in these fields, they override the product settings. The client may have already reached the maximum number of allowed accounts. You can adjust the limits if needed.
