Package Activation

To comprehensively activate the package functionality and latest updates offered by the free Active Backup for Business, please register Synology Account and enter your credentials when activating this package.

A welcome page will appear for the purpose of package activation when Active Backup for Business is launched for the first time, or when it is reinstalled after the previous configurations were deleted. When you log into your DSM from a PC that is connected to the Internet, you can activate Active Backup for Business simply by clicking the Activate button on the welcome page. As for some companies that do not have Internet connection at their data center due to privacy concerns, we have created the link No network connection? for activating Active Backup for Business when DSM is logged in from a PC that is not connected to the Internet.

This article guides you through how to activate Active Backup for Business when your DSM is logged in from a PC that is either with or without Internet connection. Package activation with or without Internet connection merely means the PC used for logging in your DSM is connected or is not connected to the Internet, respectively. It does not refer to whether your Synology NAS is connected or not connected to the Internet. Please note that Synology NAS can work in the Intranet environment and does not necessarily need to connect to the Internet.
