# “A deployment with the same name \<deployment\_name> already exists” error when deploying a Cloud app

*Applies to: Intune Apps for Cloud*

### SYMPTOMS

When I deploy software using Intune Apps for Cloud (Intune Apps), why am I seeing the following error:

**Error**

**A deployment with the same name <*****deployment\_name*****> already exists.**

<figure><img src="/files/BQ5Y1b1gagYdZu6dPe4u" alt="“Error - A deployment with the same name <deployment_name> already exists."><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### CAUSE

This message is telling you that you already have a deployment with the same name.

### RESOLUTION

Ensure the **Display Name** for your deployment is unique.&#x20;

If you want to deploy the same software with the same configuration but to different Entra ID groups, follow the [Deploying the same App with multiple configurations](/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/technical-references/deploy-same-app.md) process.
