chemistry Posted November 20, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Hi all! I am pretty new to this thing - but it's awesome. A question i got is regarding Quickconnect. It is recommended not to use a serial for the box out of the generator for Quick Connect. My question is - can i use a original serial from a older box and model (from a 216) for the 918+ Model and then use Qucik Connect? Are the serials not connected to a special model type? For my install i used a key from the generator - but for the 916+ Model - but it worked for the 918+ too..... Would be awesome if this works. Thanks!

a575606 Posted December 27, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 27, 2018 I have the same question. I'm migrating from a synology ds1512+ and wondered if I could use that serial on my xpenology ds3615+ installation to get quickconnect working?

jensmander Posted December 27, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 27, 2018 You can use the Serial in combination with the original MAC unless you don‘t have both machines online. But I doubt that it will work for a long time. I had the opportunity to try that with a serial/mac from a real 3615 and it resulted in a message that said „Oops - something is wrong with your serial!“.

I tried a couple valid pairs from different models and it seems you need a pair from the same box at the very least. A pair from a different model will give an error when you try to use quickconnect. Worth noting that you only need a valid serial for video station hardware acceleration, not sure about other packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofh_de Posted February 14, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 14, 2019 mmmh, if i dont need quickconnect will there be a problem with the using of serial/mac from an older box in any of the packages ? i ve an old 209+ and would go for 918+ with that serial anyone tried that ? whats about video de/encoding (the old 209+ wont do that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
