    Exact same issue as below. no resolve on that issue.

    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/87302753-1dd5-4782-a83e-ae5472a2727f/unable-to-create-ag-in-2014-developer-license?forum=sqlkjmanageability

    Hi @Disco Pymp ,

    Did the replicas that will add to SQL AG are just stand alone SQL server instance, not in SQL Failover cluster instance environment?

    Did you check the windows cluster states and the states of the replicas that you will be add in AG as below screenshot.

    Please share us more message from SQL server error log. And more information from Cluster log.
