I just had that message pop up on my MAG254. How is this going to work, especially with reseller accounts?

 

[scorsese]

You need a donation number, good luck. I am in the same boat.

Dose this mean that every time that someone turns on Live TV that they would have to login?

no... should only have to log in once.... more info to come on all of this

 

[Iboo330]

Thanks DarkSide, I'm a Newbie reseller. I preinstall the service on Avov Online+ boxes. Will there be problems with the boxes that I have already sold?

 

[DarkSide]

they will have to add the user/pass in order to connect to the portal... so, shouldnt be a problem

 

[Iboo330]

Are you saying that they would need my user/pass to connect?

 

[DarkSide]

they will need the number the mac is linked to

 

[Iboo330]

do I lose anything as a reseller by giving up the donation number?

 

[DarkSide]

guess it depends on whether they know how to use the donation for iks...

 

[Iboo330]

Iks, I know nothing about. Is Iks the only thing I should worry about.

 

[DarkSide]

dont worry!! youre making it more of a deal than it is!

 

[Iboo330]

I just new at it. I want to know how to deal with my customers when they question me. Also what I should or shouldn't give them.

buying just one donation code does not make you a reseller

If you have sold many boxes with the NFPS or Rocket server address on it cause it worked, well all you have sold them is a box that will work with what can be had for free.

Is this what you are saying ?

 

[Iboo330]

I have sold 8 boxes and I have 10 more on hand. I buy multiple donations at a time to resell. What can be had for free?

 

[crazed 9.6]

and does each donation come with a 12 or 13 or 14 digit code ?
The box owner has the MAC on the box. With them Avovès all that is left needed by the box owner is the code they bought from you, so yes give it to them.
Unless there is some sorta different way resellers do it. I know some keep that code so they can shut down the client by changing their MAC, for what ever reason I do not know.
If they pay you in full, then there should be no reason not to give them the code, and now you would have to, if they are gonna be able to use their Avov box after nov 1.
Not like before, where they did not need the code.

 

[Iboo330]

12 digit code. I have no problem giving up the donation, I'm not trying to do anything shady. I just need to be able to answer questions. I buy the box, I install the donation when I get a customer.

I gotcha I didnèt wanna make it sound that there mighta been anything shading, sorry about that

What will happen come feb 1st is you can still do as you are doing, but you will have to add the code per box as well, and each code will need to be linked to the MAC of that box or have the new box owner do all of that.
Either way, they will have it cause it will be visible to the user on the box.
On them avovs you do that thru the server menu. There will be a Use Credentials option there. Thatès where the 12 digit code gets entered.

You will prolly have to send them first 8 guys their individual code so they can add onto their box soon, i think

 

[Iboo330]

Ok, I learned something. I will need to have them enter the donation number into the Credentials option. So, when dose the user/password come in.

 

[scorsese]

The user/password is the 12 digit donation code
