Second hand Stora

Hello,

 

I bought a second hand Stora nas but do not know the registration named used the first time, does someone knows a trick to bypass this initialization? I have a product key on the bottom though..

 

The wizard says: 

"Your Stora was unable to register with mystora.com. If this is not your first time registering the device, please ensure you are using the same Stora name you used before to register. Otherwise please contact support to renew your product key."

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Greetings,

Kees

This is the message I am getting also:

The wizard says:

Thank you

Re: Second hand Stora (NEED NEW PRODUCT KEY)

I am at http://stora/admin/wizards/setup/wrapper and halted at this error screen:

 

Not Completed

Your Stora was unable to register itself with mystora.com. Please consult the error message below, and email support@netgear.com if necessary.

Your Product Key needs to be renewed. Please contact support to obtain a new key.

 

Can you simply send me one or do I need to call someone?

If I understand correctly that it is necessary to get a new product key for some operations, then I think that my password file shows me that I have had two previous product keys, now both invalid apparently.

 

Thank you

Betreff: Second hand Stora

Hi community and especially support members,

 

i have also naively bought a second hand Stora (MS2000) unit and now have no ability to use it, because it is already registered and says contact support. BUT - I have searched the Netgear pages for almost half an hour now and have'nt found a single chance to contact anyone regarding this topic... so basically i am grounded on trying to get the Stora up and running. Can anyone help me?

 

big thanks in advance!

greetings

Re: Second hand Stora

Hi 

I have the same problem purchased 2 second hand Stora's and cannot set them up as it says the same as other posters. 

'Your Stora was unable to register with mystora.com. If this is not your first time registering the device, please ensure you are using the same Stora name you used before to register. Otherwise please contact support to renew your product key.'

Hope you can help

Re: Second hand Stora

My solution to the problem:
I managed to contact the support on the phone and they gave my case to the technical support, where they were able to lookup the old names of my stora. Took about a week, i renamed it, but my stora is now up and running. You need the original product key of your storas, though.

Re: Second hand Stora

Hi thanks for the reply.

I don't want to pay $50 for support on an item that cost $20. 

I will just have to hack it and use advice on openstora to format drives etc.

Don't need any of the utils just want some extra network storage.

Would have been nice to have the web gui

 

Thanks anyway.

Re: Second hand Stora

I am in the same situation.

 

Just factory reset the Stora, but the registration will not let me continue without the original Stora Name.  I've contacted the previous owner,  but he is unable to recover the Stora Name he used.

 

Please help!

 

Thank you.

Re: Second hand Stora

Try to contact Netgear to release your key. You can try to call them, or from "My Netgear" there is contact support form. Not sure if this will help at all, but this is only possible scenario.
