MAG boxes and Formuler devices use your device's MAC address instead of an app. Send us your MAC address and we link your subscription to it. Activation timing can vary, so please allow some time.

  2. Open the settings or portal screen, where your device's MAC address is shown.

  3. Take a photo of the MAC address or write it down exactly.
