Serial Number / Quick Connect

Recommended Posts

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!

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 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?

Late reply but this is probably not going to work. 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.
