BlenderTools: Send To Unreal - Could not find an open Unreal Editor instance

My project has both Python Editor Script Plugin and Editor Scripting Utilities plugins enabled. It also has Enable Remote Execution enabled the in the Project Settings. I have watched the quick-start video several times and I am sure I have not missed anything.

I have removed and reinstalled the plugin and tested with a newly created and configured project to no avail.

Here’s the output from Blender’s console:

Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

Ok, so I uninstalled Blender 2.82.1 and installed 2.83.3 and the plugins again, redid the step in Quickstart and it’s working great now. Thanks
