6. Check Your Internet Connection
A weak or unstable internet connection could prevent the activation code from verifying successfully. Make sure your internet connection is stable. If you’re experiencing connectivity issues, try restarting your router or connecting to a different network if possible. A stable, fast connection is crucial for successful code activation.
7. Restart Your Device
Sometimes, simply restarting your TV or streaming device can refresh its system and resolve minor glitches that may be preventing the activation code from working. Power off your device completely, wait a few moments, and then power it back on. Open the HBO Max app again and try signing in with a new activation code.
8. Update Your HBO Max App and Device Software
If you’re still having issues, ensure that both your HBO Max app and your device’s software are up to date. Check for updates in the Settings menu of your device. On your smart TV, go to the App Store or Google Play Store to update HBO Max. Software updates often fix bugs and compatibility issues that may be causing activation problems.
9. Disable VPN or Proxy Services
If you’re using a VPN or proxy service, it may interfere with the activation process. VPNs can sometimes cause conflicts with HBO Max, preventing the activation code from verifying. Try disabling any VPNs or proxies, then restart the HBO Max app and re-enter the activation code to see if this resolves the issue.
