Failed to register because the farm or partition is already registered with a workflow service

I was recently training a colleague on administering SharePoint and he was encountering issues with being unable to publish SharePoint Workflows after he applied an SSL certificate to his SharePoint site.

Well, immediately after checking his IIS bindings and his AAM settings, the next thing I thought of was that he would have to re-register his SharePoint site with the Workflow Service.

Of course, he ran the following command:

Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "https://spse/sites" -WorkflowHostUri "https://spse:12290" 

But he received the following error message: 
Failed to register because the farm or partition is already registered with a workflow
service


Well, fortunately, there was an easy solution to this!!  All he had to do was run the command with the -Force parameter:

 Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "https://spse/sites" -WorkflowHostUri "https://spse:12290" -Force

That was all that was needed to resolve his issue!!
