  The SAP error message EZ562, which states "Form class &1 is already active," typically occurs when there is an attempt to activate a form class that is already in an active state. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when working with Smart Forms or Adobe Forms in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Activation: The form class you are trying to activate is already active in the system.
  Transport Issues: If you are working with transports, the form class might have been activated in another system or client.

  Refresh the Environment: If you suspect a caching issue, try refreshing the environment or logging out and back in to see if the issue persists.
  Use Transaction SE80: Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) and check the form class. If it is already active, you may not need to activate it again.
  Transport Management: If you are working with transports, ensure that the form class is not already activated in the target system. You may need to check the transport logs.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the form class that might be preventing activation.
