Nevertheless I just read to see 'what I am missing'. You can read this BEFORE installation: What´s new in version 7.1-4056: Point 26 of Compatibility and Installation. (as a matter of fact it was de last point of all the 'new' things this version does) 26. Online activation is now required for adding camera licenses to indemnify user´s rights and interests. The most possible explanation is something went haywire with licenses been blacklisted. SS is calling home!!!
There goes privacy questions and issues too! But that issue belongs on another thread lol). Perhaps the proofs of purchase and the temporary licenses they are asking/giving for might trigger some kind of suit to the vendors which might have done something wrong and conned (maybe) legitimate buyers.
(?) Or could be something is definitely wrong with the license validation on their side too. I have been very disappointed since version 6.3 on.
I have stayed on the last version of 6.2 ever since. Perhaps one day Synology will force upon us some kind of update (DS Cam not working on previous versions, or an update to DSM, etc) but for the time being. My advice is.
STAY AWAY from the newer versions. If you have a couple of Synos like I do. Keep the main one with the old version working and doing the job and a secondary one BETA testing SS.
If you do not. My advice is.
Stay with the latest 6.2 Are you FRUSTRATED (like I was some time ago?) take the time, pull everything back to 6.2, take your time, breathe and keep it working. I know, I know. This is not the best advice, but I would hate to throw the Syno off the window and not enjoy the rest of things (at least for me) it does pretty well just because some department is not *yet* doing a good work. AFAIK, SS was always phoning home with license checks.
This is nothing new. Maybe they just started cracking down on illegal sales.
If you purchased an SS license, and didn't get sealed card in mail, I would be suspicious. Hi I am not completely sure about this. But through reading for some time now in this forum, I believe each release previous to 7.1-4056 contained some kind of hash which validated/invalidated licenses either valid or known 'blacklisted' (to Synology). Hash that got updated upon every release.
Whereas if you use previous versions IOW roll back your setup to previous versions (again, I think, because of my experience reading) people who are having this invalid problem should not have it from the version they were coming from (or previous to that for that matter). I have seen these reports before on the forums where people complained and resolved by rolling back just after an update.
Yet again, people who claim to have bought valid licenses. Never before (I might be wrong) have I read expressly from Synology, that 'online activation' is requiered, cause if this was true before. Why state this again?: 'Online activation is NOW REQUIRED for adding camera licenses to indemnify users rights and interests.' (An why I expressed 'WOW Synology phones back home!' Theme which will be discussed in my next session with my psychologist).
I am just being sarcastic LOL. Yet again, rolling back to previous versions has ALWAYS been a drag if you want to keep everything clean and dandy as it is/was before this. This is why I stress on relaxing, breathing and coming to terms to having to start clean. Rolling back will certainly be best thinking that you have to start up with a clean slate and stay tight until this roller coaster (which for me started since 6.3 onwards) comes to more stable grounds. I think most certainly you could back up recordings for future reference without a problem before the rollback, but you might most certainly can not make them accessible through the installed SS database that you rolled back to.
