Make sure that the leftmost symbol of each node is moving. As the creation of each node is completed, the leftmost mark will turn green one after another.

It will take a few minutes to 10 minutes to complete the creation of the Blockchain network.

warning

**In case of Network Creation Failure **

Depending on the status of the cloud system you are using, such as Amazon Web Service, the server may fail to start and the network may not be created. If this system detects that the network creation has failed, the network creation will be canceled and all nodes will be deleted automatically.

In this case, select "Notification" from the menu on the left side of the screen, and you will see the following message.

If you fail to create a network, your purchased license will not be refunded. The license will be available again, and you can try to create the network again with the same configuration.
