Hi !

 

I am creating this topic because I can't get out of my issue. I cannot change the MAC address nor the serial number.

I run Xpenology on VirtualBox

I followed the tutorial to have a valid Serial number an mac address

Once I got those informations, I tried to follow this tutorial http://xpenology.me/how-to-change-and-flash-mac/ but I don't understand. Once I'm on the Ms-DOS I do not know what to do and plus the keyboard is in english when I use an AZERTY keyboard.

 

if possible, could you explain me how to change the serial number + the mac address of the xpenology

 

I am not an expert so if you could detail step by step :wink: Thanks !

* Generate your serial, change MAC address by follow this post viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3059

 

Step by step guidelines: Change serial number for XPEnology 5.0+

You can easy change serial number by edit file *.cfg in your boot disk/file.

 

First step: Use calculator by kmx23: http://1drv.ms/1Fz451J for generate your unique serial.

 

I. For ISO boot file

1. Install WinISO (http://www.winiso.com/products/standard.html).

2. Open XPE ISO boot file (eg. "XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5565.2.iso") with WinISO.

3. Select file "isolinux.cfg" => right click => Extract => Choose your temporary folder (eg. Desktop).

4. Open "isolinux.cfg" with Notepad.

5. Edit serial by replace string after "sn=", all must be same. Save file.

6. Select and drop "isolinux.cfg" file from temporary folder into WinISO windows => Choice Overwrite => Save and quit WinISO.

7. Boot your XPEnology with edited ISO boot file.

8. Check your result.

 

II. For IMG boot file

1. Write image boot file to USB disk.

2. Open file "syslinux.cfg" on your USB disk by Notepad.

3. Edit serial by replace string after "sn=", all must be same. Save file. Eject USB disk.

4. Boot your XPEnology with *new* USB disk.

5. Check your result.

Hate to ask you guys a dumb question..............

 

Once you click on the link above, it will display an excel file.

How on earth, do I need to do, to get the serial generator working.

I tried changing model no. but couldn't. So, how does it works? :???:

 

Thank you.

Save and open the excel file on your pc, select the model # DS3615xs....hit F9 to generate random serial nos..Mac # will be associated with that serial # as well.
