using signal-cli as an “emulator” for a non-existent smartphone - now it reports error: Error while checking account ….

I am using signal-cli as an "emulator" for a non-existent smartphone in order to receive signal messages on the computer using signal-desktop.
This has bin working fine until october, when signal-desktop reported that it was disconnected.
I left the whole thing behind.
Now played around with signal-cli again and always got the following error message:
"signal-cli listDevices INFO ManagerImpl - The Signal protocol expects that incoming messages are regularly received. Error while checking account +49..... : javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target”.
Somehow i found out that this could have been a bug that can be fixed with an update is that so?

I am working with the revision 0.9.2 of signal-cli

Thank you and best regards AugustaCharis

In this context I have further questions and would be pleased if someone could help me:

1. if I delete and reinstall signal-cli now - will the settings remain - such as the registration of my telephone number?
2. how do i delete this phone number using signal-cli and register a new one?
3. does signal-cli also allow the outputs (messages) to be displayed on multiple devices (signal desktop runs on multiple computers)?

Thanks and best regards AugustaCharis

See this issue: #1067 , you need to update or manually replace the certificate store.

1. settings are kept when reinstalling/updating signal-cli
2. see the unregister command https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/blob/master/man/signal-cli.1.adoc#unregister
3. you can link multiple signal desktop instances to the signal account, but there's a limit of I think 4 devices.
