A lot of updates came in today.
SS is DEFINITELY one I have kept away from but most of the time. Nevertheless I just read to see 'what I am missing'..
You can read this BEFORE installation:
What´s new in version 7.1-4056:
Point 26 of Compatibility and Installation.. (as a matter of fact it was de last point of all the 'new' things this version does)
26. Online activation is now required for adding camera licenses to indemnify user´s rights and interests.
So there!!!.. the most possible explanation is something went haywire with licenses been blacklisted. SS is calling home!!! (WOW.. there goes privacy questions and issues too! hmmf.. well.. but that issue belongs on another thread lol).. Perhaps the proofs of purchase and the temporary licenses they are asking/giving for might trigger some kind of suit to the vendors which might have done something wrong and conned (maybe) legitimate buyers. (?) Or could be something is definitely wrong with the license validation on their side too.
I have been very disappointed since version 6.3 on.. I have stayed on the last version of 6.2 ever since. Perhaps one day Synology will force upon us some kind of update (DS Cam not working on previous versions, or an update to DSM, etc) but for the time being.. my advice is.. STAY AWAY from the newer versions. If you have a couple of Synos like I do.. keep the main one with the old version working and doing the job and a secondary one BETA testing SS.. if you do not.. my advice is.. stay with the latest 6.2
Are you FRUSTRATED (like I was some time ago?) take the time, pull everything back to 6.2, take your time, breathe and keep it working. I know, I know.. this is not the best advice, but I would hate to throw the Syno off the window and not enjoy the rest of things (at least for me) it does pretty well just because some department is not *yet* doing a good work.
Regards!
