Synology apps requiring a valid serial number

[javivanco]

I have searching through the forum and apparently since DSM 6.1.2 a valid serial number is required to use some of the synology apps

 

Is someone maintaining a list of such apps? I have just installed Xpenology in a intel NUC and it's absolutely fantastic, but it a the apps I need are going to stop working I should move to other solutions, like OMV.

 

For the time being the apps which require a valid sn are:

-. Photo Station

-. Video Station

-. Audio Station

-. Quick connect

Some of them require a valid sn to transcode. Luckily I'm not using that ones nor quick connect.

 

The ones I really need and that for the time being are working for me with DSM 6.1.6 are:

CloudSync

USBCopy

CloudStation

Download Station

Transmission (there shouldn't be any problem with this one)

 

-. Any one is having problems due to non valid sn with those apps?

-. Any list of not working apps?

-. If I stop updating DSM but continue updating apps, those apps could stop working in the future? So it's recommended to stop updating DSM AND apps?

I use Photo Station regularly without any problems.  I've never done anything to make sure I have a valid serial number

including quick connect?  

 

I'm using a photo station and download station and those are fine.  I get an error message when I tried to login for quickconnect.  "The system failed to perform the requested operation, there is an unkonwn error" 

 

could it have been corrupted as part of my load?

Video station doesn't seem to transcode anything if I use the default serial number in Jun's 1.03b loader with DS3615xs. If I use the serial number generator above, how can I modify the serial of an already existing installation on ESXi? Do I just change it in grub.cfg and re-upload that synoboot.img as the boot drive for VM? Or do things get written to that now that I have been using it and uploading a new one will break everything?
