How to change SN

Recommended Posts

Hello guys!

Im just wondering if there is any possibility to change SN on working machine without make a new installation.

 

Im running XPE on Dell T20 with DSM 6.1.7 update 3 and found finally my old one DS115j with genuine SN and MAC.

I would like to change them bcs once im sending some video to photo station/moments, im getting conversion error and i have no access to video thru those apps on PC - it is working just fine on mobile apps...

I found in google that so it is with no genuine SN - before converter is starting to convert, contacts synology to check our SN, if one we are using is no geniune, then we are getting this error.

Shutdown DSM, plug in the boot stick to your workstation, start MiniTool Partition Wizard Free (or a similar software), assign a drive letter to the first partition of the stick. Then open the grub.cfg and modify the serial and/or MAC. Save your changes, go back to your partition software and unassign the drive letter from the stick.

 

A serial and MAC from a DS115j won't work for other Synology models (AFAIK). You'll have to do a short google search for images of a DS36XX or DS918+, depending on your loader... ;)
