I am trying to set up an MCC Test Account.  I am here: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/test-accounts#getting-started and click on the MCC test account link.  It puts me on a page "Create Google Account".  I select "I have and  email address and password...." Then select "Yes, I want to use my current Google account."  I sign in and it tells me I already have access to an AdWords account linked to an MCC.  I don't want to use that MCC because it is live and the developer token is pending.  How do I create the test account?
 
Thank you,
 
Carol

Hi Carol,


It is only possible to have only one AdWords account per Google account. Please use a different account (another gmail address) for creating the test MCC account.

Then how do you link that Production account with this new Test account?

Hi,

You can't link the test account to the production account, but that's not a requirement for using AdWords API. You can use the developerToken from your production account and the credentials of your test account to make API calls to the test account.
