An Active Code activates your GoldenOTT account inside a supported app in one step. It is an alternative to the Xtream login (username, password, server URL) and to the M3U link. Which method you get depends on your device and app; the setup guide explains the choice.
When to use an Active Code
- Your app shows an Active Code or Activation Code screen at start-up.
- You want the simplest entry on a TV remote: one code instead of three long values.
- For IBO Player and HotPlayer, use the Xtream login instead (IBO Player guide); for MAG boxes, use the portal (MAG guide).
How to enter it
- Install the app from its official source; GoldenOTT server apps are listed in the Apps Center at upcenter.net.
- Open the app and choose the Active Code option.
- Type the code exactly as sent, without spaces.
- Confirm and wait for the channel list to load, then test a channel.
Code rejected?
- Check for look-alike characters (0/O, 1/I) and remove spaces.
- Make sure you are in the app the code was issued for.
- Set the device date and time to automatic.
- Check that the subscription is still active; see how to renew.
- Follow activation code or login not working, then contact support with the app name and a screenshot of the error (never the code in a public place).
