Already registered.Unable to register it to access ready cloud.
I had this at a past buisness and stored it away for several years. I would like to use it via the readycloud but I when I try to set up the account It says the SN is already registered and I am stopped. Is there away to fix this?
Hello jbshiff,
I checked your profile and found that ReadyNAS Duov1 is registered under your name. Like Stephen said, you cannot use ReadyCloud with this ReadyNAS as this is one of the legacy ones and ReadyCloud is for ReadyNAS OS6 units only. However, you can use ReadyNAS Remote. You may create an account at http://remote.readynas.com/ and enable ReadyNAs Remote of your ReadyNAS using its FrontView. Please see this user manual of ReadyNAS Remote for more information and instructions.

This is a duo v1?
If so, ReadyCloud doesn't support it anyway - it only works with OS-6. You could use ReadyRemote.

You can't register a used NAS, but you can use ReadyCloud (and remote) with an unregistered NAS.
