Using DivX Player's Device Manager to register your device

Once you have found your VOD code, you can start the activation process by logging into your account though DivX Player’s Device Manager.

To log in, select the Device Manager from the Tools menu. When the Device Manager window opens, you may be prompted to either login or create a DivX VOD account (which is separate from your DivX Support account). If you’ve already registered a device, you will see a list of any devices already registered.

Click on the ‘Register Device’ button below to begin the process. The “Activate Device” window will open where you can select the brand of the device you want to activate. Scroll down the alphabetical list of names, click on your device’s name to highlight it and click ‘Next’.

Enter your VOD code under the “Activation ID” section, and in the “Name” section give your device a label or nickname. For example, the name can reflect the brand or model of your device or describe its location such as “Living Room”. Once you have entered this information, click ’Next’ again. The activation should begin, which will be indicated by the green in the progress bar and the percentage posted next to it.

When the activation progress bar shows it’s complete, you are almost done. Now click ’Next’ to continue to the next window. You will be given the option for a method of transfer for the Activation Video. You can choose either to burn the file to a disc (CD or DVD) or you can save it to your computer if you have a network-connected device. You MUST play the activation video on your device to complete the activation process. Select your storage location and click “Finish Activation”.

Select the "Burn to Disc" option if you have an optical disc based player (i.e., set-top DVD player, portable DVD player) and burn the "DivX Activation Video.divx" file to a CD or DVD. If you have a hard disc drive or flash memory based player (i.e., portable media player), please add the "DivX Activation Video.divx" file to the storage device of your player. (Please refer to the player's instruction manual on how to add media files to the device.)

If you have a network based player (i.e., network media player), please add the "DivX Activation Video.divx" file to the media library directory of the hosting/server software. (Refer to the player's instruction manual on how to add media files to the hosting/server software.) Next, follow the manufacturer's instruction and play the “DivX Activation Video” file on your DivX Certified player.

You should see the “Activation Successful” video on your TV or screen when this last step is completed. Congratulations! Your DivX Certified player is now activated for DivX Video-on-Demand.
