OK, I finally got it. It was just the Windows logon. I had missed one capital letter when I tried it earlier. I wish Windows would tell me what username/password it was looking for (ie windows logon, etc).

I've searched all over the place and I cannot find what's going on here. I just installed a new QNAP NAS, and installed Resilio Sync. When I try to open Resilio Sync, I get a windows security message. I have tried passwords from my router, model, computer account, NAS, and I cannot find anything that works. I have encountered this before on another NAS device, but never figured a solution either. What, exactly, is this asking for? In the image you see, the "admin" is from what I typed in. The first time it comes up I have two blank spaces for username and password. Larry

Update: This is a big reason I chose Resilio Sync. Ever since the name change, the infotechs haven't bothered me. With the VPN all's working well.

Thanks, got it! I had some issues with security certificates, but your link helped a lot.

I'm not at my home computer right now, but I'm pretty sure I tried the following: From the Windows version, open Sync, click the gear, license, then" copy". Then I opened Sync on my NAS using IE. Because I'm not at my home computer at the moment, I'm not sure exactly what I did but I would have found a screen to apply a license. I did not know them was a "guide". I looked on the Resilio site and couldn't find one. Can you tell me where it is? I don't know if it makes any difference or not , but if I install the latest version of Resilio on my NAS I get a warning that it may not be compatible and I get a notice that it will not automatically start up. The previous version installs fine on my NAS.

Everyone's thoughts could be with friends and relatives in Florida and the Carribean in the wake of hurricane Irma, and Jose is on the way too.

I had to reinstall my NAS version of Resilio Sync. When I tried to copy and paste the license key it tells me to enter a valid key. How can I upgrade the license to my NAS version?

I checked on my NAS and am having trouble with compatibility errors. The old version 2.4.1 installed last October normally without compatibility errors. With version 2.5.7, I get the compatibility error and informs me that it will not automatically start. I have reinstalled 2.4.1 and it seems to work normally. Seagate NAS SRN21c

I was experiencing more difficulty connecting to Resilio Sync recently. I have discovered it's related to Kaspersky Internet Security 2017. I have uninstalled KIS 2017 and installed KIS 2016 and the issue seems to have resolved itself. I now seem to have a solid Sync connection using my VPN at my school.

For me, yes.

I have already migrated, but I had a heck of a time. The NAS instructions said to "stop BitTorrent Sync", but I never did find out how to stop it. I just uninstalled BitTorrent Sync knowing all my files were safe on another device, then installed Resilio Sync. Migration was not easy as was implied in the instructions and e-mails I received. I really appreciate the help available here, and value Helen's and other's efforts. My point here is that more clear instructions on the websites would be very helpful for some steps, is possible.

At my school I've had difficulty because of all the firewalls security stuff. Many websites are blocked. I've gotten around it by using an VPN. This usually works, although I seem to have to empty the cache or restart my tablet to get the peers up. My laptop on Windows 7 Pro seems happy with the VPN and Resilio Sync.

I'm sure some one has done it, but I couldn't find from searching that anyone has. I successfully synched my Internet Explorer favorites between my laptop and desktop. I have always been frustrated by saving a favorite on one machine, then having to dig up the link to save it on the other machine. No more! Larry

I'm using the school WIFI. Other students have attempted to hack the network, so there are tons of security layers. Interestingly, my laptop connects to peers more reliably than my tablet, even though both are connected to the same WIFI. Once, clearing the cache of the tablet made all the difference. Other times, I would have no peers until I had the VPN up and running. Other times, rebooting the tablet brought the peers up. Often, I get peers first thing during the day. However, I'm having trouble finding a pattern when I get the peers up, and when I can't. I had this issue with the previous BT Sync as well. Larry

Thanks, I'll look into this. Knowing my luck, as soon as they see me using a port for Sync, they'll block that one too! I'd have better luck teaching an octopus to fly than convincing them to unblock/allow Sync through their firewall. Larry

So, am I interpreting the following paragraph incorrectly? It sounds as if all laptops and desktops will upgrade automatically. (Perhaps they did, I'll check tonight) I did read in an earlier paragraph that NAS and Android devices need to be manually done. Quoted from https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205458195-Getting-Sync-PRO : "As soon as license is applied to an identity, each of the devices belonging to this identity will upgrade to the PRO version. For example, if you have a desktop and two laptops - all linked via My devices - then upgrading to PRO (activating a license) on the desktop computer will automatically switch Sync into the PRO mode on the laptops. If later on you decide to link even more devices to your identity, the instances of Sync running on those devices will be upgraded to PRO automatically." Larry

should my Pro lisense automatically apply to all my connected peers? It doesn't seem to be, anyway. Larry

0ur school network has tons of blocks and firewalls (I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what they are) so that I can only get the peers sporadically. Any ideas on how to connect more reliably? Sometimes using a VPN helps, but not always. The issue is mostly with my Android connection. My laptop connection seems reliable. Larry

figured it out... There was a setting on my NAS that needed changing. I can't remember what it was now, but I couldn't even update the firmware. All's good now.

I finally got Resilio Sync going. It wasn't a smooth transition as I had hoped, but I got it. The big problem I have for now is a time difference in my Seagate Personal Cloud NAS. The time on my NAS is 1h25min out. I see no way of correcting the time other than to play around with time zones, but that only changes the hour. Resilio insists on the time being within 10 minutes of my other devices, so I'm unable to sync with my NAS. I did not have this issue with BTSync. Is there a way to correct this problem? Larry

OK, I found out more information. It wasn't so much the bandwidth, it the the BitTorrent name that sounded the alarm! I guess they assume that if I have a program that has the name BitTorrent, I'm downloading illegal movies and stuff. Of course, that couldn't be farther from the truth. I won't mess with that kind of stuff. I have been told that if I connect my computer into the wired network again, my MAC will be blocked. I'm allowed to use the open wireless, which does work. Unfortunately, the work printers are behind firewalls and I can only see them in the wired network. Oh well, sometimes that's just life. Larry

Thank you Helen, I was so happy to be free from Dropbox, and now this! It's quite annoying. Thanks for pointing me towards the "rate_limit_local_peers". Now I just hope they don't ban me anyway! Larry

I got BitTorrent Sync working well between my laptop, android, and NAS. However, I found out that my workplace is about to ban my computer because it's been using too much bandwidth. I did not have this issue when using Dropbox. What can I do? Larry
