Hi Muhammad, Are you running or have you launched three labs in quick succession when you see this particular error message? We recently put a hard limit on the number of labs a user can run at any one time and this is currently set to three (please note that a lab instance will continue to run for a period of time even if you close down the browser). If this is the case, if you wait for around 15-20 minutes the lab instances should expire and you should then be able to launch additional labs.
