to GAM for Google Workspace
HI Guys,
I have been using GAM for more than few years. I recently updated my GAMADV to GAM7 on my Google Cloud Shell. I have set up gam.cfg for multiple domains for my resold client domains. Never had this problem when I was using GAMADV, GAMADV-X and GAMADV-Xtd3. I follow the upgrade instruction found from https://github.com/GAM-team/GAM/wiki/How-to-Upgrade-Legacy-GAM-to-GAM7 all the way till the end successfully. Please help.

If you were running GAMADV, you should have followed these instructions:
It simplly installs the new executable.
Did you save the existing client_secrets.json and oauth2service.json files?
As a side note, issue the following command to eliminate the warning:
WARNING: Config File: /home/jvic/.gam/gam.cfg, Section: lamaicoco, Item: device_max_results, Value: 500, Expected: integer 1<=x<=200, Used: 200
gam select default config device_max_results 200 save
