CCS/MSP-EXP430FR6989: MSP430: Error: MSP-FET / eZ-FET legacy module update failed

Part Number: MSP-EXP430FR6989
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET, MSPDS,

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am currently having 2 MSP launchpads of MSP EXP430FR6989 . I am not able to burn the code to one of them. Whenever I try to burn the code an error is popping out saying that 

"MSP430: Error initializing emulator: A firmware update is required for the MSP430 Debug Interface (MSP-FET430UIF / MSP-FET / eZ-FET). Click the "Update" button to update the firmware and launch your debug session (this may require several update steps).  DO NOT UNPLUG THE INTERFACE DURING THE UPDATE."

and when I try updating the drivers, the next error pops out saying "MSP430: Error: MSP-FET / eZ-FET legacy module update failed" what could be the error ?

The other launchpad is working perfectly.

    Make sure that only one MSP LaunchPad is connected to the computer at a time. Has this MSP-EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad been used before, and is its revision number any different from the working unit? Have you tried using a different programmer such as IAR or FET-Pro430, or install the MSPDS low-level drivers?

    Regards,

    Only one MSP is connected at a time.
    Yes I was using both these boards simultaneously(each powered from separate computers ) for an application. They were working.
    No i was just using Code Composer Studio.
    Both the launchpads are working with the same drivers.

    So you know that both MSP-FETs have the same drivers installed and yet the same CCS version requests an update for one and not the other? Have you tried ignoring the upgrade request? Make sure your USB cables are as short in length as possible.
