I need help with Xbox Developer Mode activation

SVLDM · Nov 16, 2023

I've been following the guide in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps/devkit-activation and I'm trying to complete step 5. "Register an app developer account in Partner Center."

When I try to register in the Partner Center "https://developer.microsoft.com/store/register" I just keep getting an error after filling in the information, specifically after payment info it verifies and I get a charge of $0.00 in my local currency. Then the page reloads and I get an error saying:

Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later.

No matter how many times I try I cannot pass that screen and complete the registration. I've tried different accounts, different browsers even incognito mode but I cant complete the registration into the program.

Hello Fernanda F, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

Clear Password and Upgrade Certificates are part of the Developer Mode settings on Xbox. Here I explain a little more about each one:

Clear Password: This is a key used to activate developer mode on your Xbox console. To activate developer mode, you need to go to partner.microsoft.com/xboxconfig/devices and enter the activation code displayed in the Dev Mode Activation app. You have a limited number of activations associated with your account.

Update certificates: These are certificates used to authenticate system updates. I didn't find specific information about update certificates in the system developer settings on Xbox.

Developer mode lets you develop and test games and apps right on your Xbox console. However, if you are not developing your own applications in the console, you do not need to enable developer mode.

If you click on the access key and update the certificates, nothing harmful should happen. However, if you are unsure, I would recommend that you do not click on these options unless you are sure what you are doing or are following specific instructions for app development.

I hope this clarifies your doubts. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
