in Eikon Data APIs

Hello. I just started using the eikon API. When I try to use the example scripts in the website, I get this error. I tried the solutions in the two similar questions, namely pip upgrade eikon and adding to the path, but it didnt work. Thanks in advance.

    You possibly mixed different versions.

    A solution is to uninstall then re-install eikon library.

    set_app_key replaced set_app_id since 0.1.12 beta version.

    If you check helper on set_app_xxx functions :

    >>> help(ek.set_app_id)
    Help on function set_app_id in module eikon.Profile:

    set_app_id(app_id)
        Set the application id.

        Parameters
        ----------
        app_id : string
            the application id

        Notes
        -----
        The application ID identifies your application on Refinitiv Platform.
        You can get an application ID using the App Key Generator. This App is available in Eikon Desktop.

        .. deprecated:: 0.1.12
           This will be removed in 1.1.0. Use set_app_key function instead
    >>> help(ek.set_app_key)
    Help on function set_app_key in module eikon.Profile:

    set_app_key(app_key)
        Set the application key.

        Parameters
        ----------
        app_key : string
            the application key
        Notes
        -----
