I am using one of the three activation codes to turn my standard version of SmartWare to SmartWare Pro. It has been working fine as the PRO version since I bought the MyCloud MAS.

Today, for some reason I have a button in the top right hand side asking me to upgrade to the Pro version. I can no longer access my DropBox account either so the software has reverted back to the basic version.

When I try and enter my activation code and my email address (the same address that I used in the first place to register), the software freezes and after 2-3 minutes I get a message back saying ‘There was a problem trying to activate with the code’ or something like that.

I have checked on the WD site via the registration email they sent when I inittially set up SmartWare and I have only used 1 of the 3 activations available so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Trouble is that if I uninstall and then reinstall SmartWare, I will have to redo all my backups. It took me days last time!

Has anyone else had this happen to them? And what can I do about it without having to redo all my backups.

My shiney new Synology DS214+ and two WD 3.0TB RED NAS HDDs were delivered today.

I will mothball the MyCloud for now with a view to sell some time.
