Common Issues & Troubleshooting

• Identifier not accepted – If you receive an error like Invalid Device ID, check the identifier you entered, ensure the hardware is new or properly transferred, and verify you used the correct format.
  
  

• No service available at this address – This means that in your area the capacity for the chosen plan (e.g., Residential) is currently full. You may need to select a different plan type (e.g., Business or Roam) or wait.
  
  

• Used or resold kit issues – If the equipment was previously used or registered under a different account, it may be locked and cannot be activated until it is released by the original owner.
  
  

• Activation without internet – In some cases you can activate using the starlink.com/activate dish’s WiFi network (especially during first hour of plug-in) even if you’re currently offline.
