Cause

The reason for this error is that you have not uploaded the MCS solution to the current tenant and you are trying to load the solution for the first time with the MCS key generated, which is not possible.

Resolution

In the Multi-Customer solution logon mode, you have to use the second radio button Deploy MCS Solution first and upload the .ZIP file of the original solution from the source tenant, which will create a new namespace in the current tenant.

After this you can use the Load MCS Solution option and open the MCS solution with the generated installation key.
