Activation System
Starting with v2.0.0, FreeDS requires an activation key for use.
FreeDS does not sell or supply pre-assembled surplus managers. It only provides official PCBs designed by @amcalo for self-assembly by users.
If you purchased a surplus manager after 12/23/2025, ask your seller to provide the activation code.
Users who contributed via donations, purchased the official PCB, or assembled the manager themselves have access to free activation.

Official FAQ: Solares TV and third-party managers
If you arrived searching for Solares TV, this is the official FreeDS clarification to avoid brand and support confusion.
FreeDS does not offer an official pre-assembled manager. FreeDS is a firmware/project, and the official commercial option developed by the creators is Ibediv (Ibepower).
Sellers such as Solares TV and others market non-official managers assembled and sold by them, without relation to the FreeDS author.
In many online stores it is not clearly stated that the creator of the FreeDS surplus manager is Pablo Zerón, and that those sellers only assemble and sell the required hardware.
For Solares TV and other non-official sellers, support and updates to versions requiring an activation key must be handled by the seller; otherwise, contact us to learn about available options.
For searches such as "FreeDS Solares TV", "FreeDS manager Solares TV" or "alternative to Solares TV", always check official channels for updated information.
The FreeDS usage license requires explicit disclosure that the device uses FreeDS and acknowledgement of the original author; when this is not clearly stated, the license is not met.
