New Partner - Can't Activate Dev Area of XBOX Error

argabon · Nov 1, 2022

Hello,

I have recently became a partner however I can't get my xbox series x past the aka.ms/activatexbox section when I try to activate my xbox. Once visited I'm forced to sign in and the page just goes to the Partner Center with a blank page in the right frame. I've tried multiple devices.

Is there an alternative ti aka.ms/activatexbox or something?

I'm also being asked to join to become a partner even though the payment is clear and I was authorized.

Please Help

:)

Hi Zayon.

My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

In these cases, it's always advisable to contact technical support because they're the only ones who can provide you with proper advice.

Personally, I suggest trying, if possible, with another device or at least with another browser, although clearing the cache and history of the one in use is usually the recommended procedure. Additionally, you could contact your bank to understand if they have received the payment request and if they can verify why it didn't go through.

I'll provide you with the support page regarding payment method issues, where you'll find a list of error codes, but I haven't found any similar codes to yours, which seem more like Windows errors. Furthermore, from there, you can also contact technical support.

I hope I've been helpful.

Kind regards

I recommend contacting xbox support as activating dev mode on such software may not be allowed.

Thanks for bringing this up, I've tried but seems like this problem is out of their area, the CN Xbox One support team can't answer this one either.

I have reset the console again and created a new account and yet the Dev Mode Activation App still tells me I can't be in two previews.
