  2018-02-21 11:40:54,089 hipchat-httpclient-callbacks:thread-9 ERROR [hipchat.sync.crowd.CrowdSyncManager] Got HTTP error 400 (Bad Request), with body
  {
    "error": {
      "code": 400,
      "message": "Unable to create user.  You must purchase more licenses in order to add additional users",
      "type": "Bad Request"
    }
  }

• Navigate to the https://<fqdn>/server_admin/status and confirm the number of Total users

• Compare it with the license count that is was purchased from My Atlassian site

原因

The instance has hit the license limit, causing the new users not to be added to the group

ソリューション

1. Purchase a higher license tier to cater to the size of the instance. Get in touch with us through here
2. Re-apply the latest license again after obtaining it from My Atlassian site
