Why am I unable to add a second input Parameter name and the UDP port 514 is not available?

hello,
I am trying to add to my Splunk some Linux via syslog, but when I try to add the input separately it sends me the next error:

Parameter name: UDP port 514 is not available.

If I try to disable and add a new input it lets me do it, but I receive logs of only one input.

What could be the problem?.

My Splunk is installed on a windows server.

inputs.conf spec says explicitely that "Only one stanza per port number is currently supported." for UDP inputs.

Are you trying to create a 2nd input using the same port? Only one input can be configured for each port.
