opinions -using dead SN/MACs?


sbv3000

Question

Hi All

 

First off let me say that I don't use quickconnect or any synology server based services with my XPE boxes, which all run non-syno sn/macs. I have several real syno boxes and a couple are registered.

 

However, I do have several dead syno boxes, DS207s, 411js, 412+ etc.

 

Seeing that Synology are getting tougher with needing valid macs for more 'basic' operation I can imagine the day when things like package centre will need valid sn/mac just to operate. (I even noticed the other day that syno.auth services to logon to amazon/google drive for backup was unstable)

 

What are forum views on using the genuine sn/macs from dead boxes that I own on XPE, in the event that Synology get really tough and start to block everything?

Well that's entirely up to you if those boxes belong to you but those dead Synology boxes serials wont work on DS 3615xs/or DS 3617xs/DS916+ as each Synology NAS model has a specific S/N construction and can't be swapped around. Unless you have a real DS 3615xs, or DS 3617xs or DS916+ then those dead syno boxes won't be of any help in principal.
