ReadyNAS v2 & Readycloud

Hi

Ive just purchased a secondhand ReadyNAS V2 and am haven trouble getting ready cloud to work on this
I noticed when setting up the ReadyNAS i was given the option to register the product with Netgear. However when I did this, it said the serial Number was already registered

Does this mean that ready cloud also won't work because the device is already registered to someone else with it not being new?

    ReadyCloud is not available for the Duo v2. It is only available on ReadyNAS OS 6.

    You can still use cloud features such as ReadyNAS Remote and ReadyDROP on the Duo v2.

    The warranty is not transferable, so you cannot register it.

    As mdgm points out, the issue with readycloud is simpler - older NAS don't have that feature.

    Note my post above assumes you have the Duo v2 (runs RAIDiator 5.3.x).

    If you have the older Duo v1 hardware revision 2 you can still use ReadyNAS Remote, but ReadyDROP is not available for the Duo v1.

    Is there any app available for the iPhone similar to Readycloud so I can upload photos etc from my phone?
