    To do so, simply sign in to your account to use your plan on your Macs (or your iOS device where applicable) using just your equinux ID and password.

    You may use the software in parallel on one computer per license.

    If you want to use the software on multiple devices in parallel, or other family members or colleagues also want to use the software on their computers, you will need a separate license for each person or each parallel use.

    A VPN Tracker 10, VPN Tracker 9 or Spot Maps license can be active on one Mac at the same time. If you want to use the Software on multiple devices, you will need an separate license per device.

    • After the download has completed, launch the app and click the "Login" button in the top left-hand corner of the app home page.
    • Enter your equinux ID and password in the space provided. Hint: This is the login you first created when purchasing VPN Tracker in our online store.

    Are you a World Connect User?

    You will need to download VPN tracker World Connect. You can do so using this link. VPN Tracker World Connect must be installed using the App Store. Once you've installed the app on your device, sign in with your equinux ID and password.

    If you're sure that your time with us is at an end then we've made it nice and easy to remove all your info from our database so that you don't need to wait for us to do it.

    Just log in at your License Manager, click 'Edit your Account' on the left hand navigation panel and, after a tearful farewell, click 'Delete Account'.

    If you need to transfer a license to another equinux ID, you can easily do this yourself at my equinux.

    ‣ First log in with your equinux ID and password: http://my.equinux.com
    ‣ Click the checkboxes for each product that you want to transfer
    ‣ Click the "Transfer" button below and enter the equinux ID or email address of the new license owner and click next.       
    ‣ Finally click "Confirm" to complete the transfer. The system will transfer the license, display a message and email both the old and new license owner that the license has been transferred.

    VPN Tracker 365 Plans cannot be transfered to another equinux ID. However, under https://my.vpntracker.com you can assign a plan to a colleague so they can use one of the VPN Tracker 365 plans that are connected to your account.
    This is especially useful if you are the admin of all VPN Tracker licenses in your company and want to manage who can use one of the purchased plans.

    Once you have decided which product to purchase, the next step is to proceed to our Online Store and place your order. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal and bank transfers or checks, depending on your country.

    After your order has been processed you will receive a confirmation for your purchase. This will confirm the items purchased, and additional payment instructions if you're paying via bank transfer or check (in those cases you will also receive an additonal email confirming your payment when it has been processed.)

    In the purchase confirmation email you will also receive additional information like the download links for your purchased apps.

    Go to your current subscription and click on "Edit" to change the payment method. Click "Choose another way to pay" to add a new credit card or alternatively, add a PayPal account. This will be used as your new default payment method for your plan.

    With VPN Tracker 365 you can create a team under https://my.vpntracker.com and assign each team member a VPN Tracker 365 Plan.
    This will not give each team member access to your equinux ID. The team members will only see their assigned plan in their own equinux ID after logging in to https://my.vpntracker.com. You will stay the only admin of your equinux ID.

    You can retrieve your equinux ID or password using this form.

    Your equinux ID is your personal account at equinux. You can use it to purchase and activate products & licenses.

    The first time you shop in our online store, you'll be asked to create an equinux ID. After your purchase, software licenses are automatically linked to your equinux ID and can be activated by simply entering the same equinux ID and password you used during purchase.

    Retail boxes and certain products may still require an Activation Code. Once entered, the product will be linked to your equinux ID.

    If you have forgotten your equinux ID and/or password, use our login & password retrieval form.

    If your credit card is being refused, please check the following information, for possible mistakes or mismatches :

    • Please check the credit card number you have entered carefully for possible typos
    • Make sure the expiration date entered is correct
    • Check whether the security code you entered matches the code on your card: American Express cardholders can find the 4-digit code on the front of their card, other cardholders can usually find a 3-digit code on the back.
    • Try another credit card, if you have access to one
    • If you are certain your information is correct and your card is still not being accepted, it might be due to a technical issue with our credit card gateway. Please try again later.

    The majority of VPN users use their Mac out and about on the go. If a MacBook ever gets lost or stolen, there’s a risk that remote access to your network could fall into the wrong hands. With VPN Tracker, you can prevent unauthorized VPN access by remotely revoking access to the connection.

    Are you seeing a 'Server certificate' error message whilst activating your equinux software?

    One likely cause is your system's date & time: Make sure your system clock is set correctly by checking 'Set date & time automatically' under System Preferences > Date & Time.

    We also use a fairly new security certificate to protect your data. However, older versions of OS X might not immediately recognize the certificate.

    To make sure OS X will recognize the certificate, you could try one of the following two fixes:

    Run Software Update

      ‣ Go to the System Preferences and select "Software Update"
      ‣ Install any available system updates 
      ‣ Afterwards, restart and try activating again

    Disable your firewall

    Please make sure you are not running any firewalls which may block access to our activations server. Applications you may wish to disable temporarily include:

    • Mac OS X Firewall
    • LittleSnitch (Litte Snitch Configuration - Preferences … - General - Stop)
    • Intego NetBarrier

    Disable your proxy

    In some cases the use of proxies may interfere with certain certificates stored in your Keychain.

      ‣ Open System Preferences
      ‣ Go to the "Network" section
      ‣ Choose your network connection and click "Advanced…"
      ‣ Uncheck any proxies you may have configured and click "Ok"

    Check your Keychain

      ‣ Open: "Application" > "Utilities" > "Keychain Access" 
      ‣ Select "Keychain Access" > "Keychain First Aid"
      ‣ Enter your OS X account password, select Repair on the right and hit Start

    Install the root certificate manually

    • Download the latest Let's Encrypt root certificates
    • Double-click to add the certificate to your Mac's keychain
      Tip: If you have multiple users on the Mac, add it to the 'System' keychain to fix this problem for all users
    • Double-click the new entry "ISRG Root X1" to open the trust settings



    • Under "Trust", choose "Always trust"



    • Close the window and confirm with your Mac user password

    You should now be able to activate your software using your equinux ID and password.

    VPN Tracker 9 & VPN Tracker 10

    Older VPN Tracker versions may also have issues due to certifcates as described above. As these versions are end-of-life, we can no longer offer support for them. The steps above should also apply to these versions. For support and to use VPN Tracker on the latest macOS versions, please switch to a new VPN Tracker plan.

    Don't worry – it happens to all of us!

    Just head on over to our login retrieval page, enter your equinux ID or email address and we'll send you your details.

    If your software has already been activated using a different equinux ID, you must use this same ID to activate further stationery packs.

    E.g. If you already own Stationery Pack and have recently bought Summer Spirit Cards using a different equinux ID, you won't be able to use both stationery packs at once.

    If you want to use both at once, simply transfer your new stationery pack license from your new equinux ID to your old equinux ID (or vise-versa) using your equinux License Manager.

    If you've forgotten your password, you can retrieve your login details here.

    Alternatively, if you no longer own the previous stationery pack installed, please uninstall it. You can then install your new stationery pack with your new equinux ID.

    In order to use tizi for Mac on your computer, there are some audio codecs necessary. For legal reasons these codes are not available in the tizi.tv version from the Mac App Store.
    Because of this the version from the Mac App Store supports only certain tizi devices:

  • You purchased tizi for Mac DVB-T or DVB-C? In this case, please download tizi.tv for Mac via my.tizi.tv
  • You are using tizi or tizi+ with an iPad or iPhone and want to watch TV also on your Mac? In this case you can download tizi.tv from the Mac App Store. You will need the in-App purchase "tizi Wifi Support".
  • If your device requires high power for charging, it will charge faster. If not, that’s fine too: it will charge normally the way it is supposed to.
    There is no risk to your connected device no matter which port you attach it to.

    The Hight Power USB Port has been designed for charging your iPad.
    You can also charge any other device on this port. If your device needs more power, it will charge faster on this port. If not, your device will also be charged perfectly fine.

    With tizi DVB-C you can watch and record all unencrypted TV channels.

    Additional Pay-TV channels are normally encrypted and cannot be decoded by tizi (even if you have a valid subscription).

    You can also record HD tv shows and movies with tizi.tv on your Mac.

    The button on tizi video recycler has at the moment no function in the software. We will offer a function for it in a future update for tizi.tv. This allows to set a marker during digitizing your viedeos and helps you when editing your recording.

    If you purchased your equinux software product in our Online Store, you don't need an activation code in order to activate your application.

    You entered your equinux ID but still get asked to enter an Activation Code?

    This can have two reasons:

      ‣ You might have purchased your application using another equinux ID. Please open the invoice you received for your purchase. You will find here the equinux ID you used for your order.
      ‣ The other reason ist that you might have purchased your license via the Mac App Store. In this case, please delete the application version you have downloaded from our website and download your application via the "Purchases" tab of the Mac App Store.

    Thank you for your interest in equinux Software!

    As you may have noticed, most of our consumer software is available to purchase either as a Family Pack or a Single User license.

    While the Single User Edition is perfect for those with just one computer, the lucky ones of you with more than one Mac should consider the Family Pack Edition. This allows you to run your equinux software on up to five different computers at once! What's more it costs less than two individual Single User Editions...

    Now that's a bargain!

    You may have multiple equinux IDs and your licenses are in another account.

    ‣ Log in to my equinux with your other logins until you find the equinux ID that contains your product licenses.

    In order to use tizi for Mac on your computer, there are some audio codecs necessary. For legal reasons these codes are not available in the tizi.tv version from the Mac App Store.
    Because of this the version from the Mac App Store supports only certain tizi devices:

  • You purchased tizi for Mac DVB-T or DVB-C? In this case, please download tizi.tv for Mac via my.tizi.tv
  • You are using tizi or tizi+ with an iPad or iPhone and want to watch TV also on your Mac? In this case you can download tizi.tv from the Mac App Store. You will need the in-App purchase "tizi Wifi Support".

    download Mac software for tizi for Mac (DVB-T) via: www.tizi.tv/app

    download Mac software for tizi for WiFi via: www.tizi.tv/app or from Mac App Store

    You will find the tizi code in the instruction booklet for your device. For legal reasons tizi.tv from the Mac App Store does not contain the required audio codecs for your tizi hardware.

    The amount of disk space you need for your recodings depends on the used video. A one hour recording has an approximately size of 1.6 GB.

    All recordings are saved as MPEG-2 in tizi.tv and can be opened and viewed in QuickTime, VLC media player or Handbrake . We don't use an own, proprietary format. You can share your recordings (via Vimeo, Messages, AirDrop, Email and Facebook) or export them to MP4 to use them in iMovie.

    In the basic settings, under Film > tizi.tv – you can always change the location of where your recordings will be saved.

    The bluetooth and wifi chips on the iPad and iPhone share a single antenna. So if you're using bluetooth headphones, your wifi performance will not be as good. This isn't noticeable if you're just surfing the web, as that only requires a small amount of data. But a TV signal requires a lot more data, so you may start seeing performance issues.

    We currently don't recommend using bluetooth devices while using tizi.

    Yes, your Mac Must be on, and the tizi software must be running.
    The exact number of channels you'll be able to watch with tizi depends on where you live and how strong the TV signal strength in your area is.
    Check out the Digital Television Map to get an idea of which channels you'll be able to pick up.
    No. However, you can use one of our mobile TV Hotspots, tizi or tizi+ for this.

    In order to send your TV picture wirelessly to your device, tizi needs to transmit a fairly large amount of data across its wireless network. For optimal performance you should place tizi away from other wireless devices.

    When you turn tizi on, it tries to find a wifi channel that isn't being used. If it can't find an empty channel, tizi will share a wifi channel with other devices. If you notice performance issues with your other devices, try placing tizi further away from other wireless devices, or try choosing a different wireless network channel on your wifi router or Apple Airport Base station. Check your wireless base station's manual for details.

    The tizi charger is optimized for charging the tizi battery optimiert. This can be used for the tizi, tizi+ and tizi battery.

    tizi.tv supports OS X – macOS Sierra.

    The tizi app digitalizes as an MPEG-2 video.

    On our website www.tizi.tv you will find TV receivers for your Mac to receive digital TV on your computer.

    First you ‘ll need to convert your video into an MPEG-4 file. To do this, go to the Recordings Library and choose the desired clip. Then click on the button, “Export to iMovie”.

    Yes, if you have an Apple TV and an iOS device, you can watch your recordings or live TV with AirPlay Mirroring!

    You will need a strong network connection to allow it to work smoothly. Connecting your Apple TV via an ethernet cable is usually best for this.

    For tizi:
    Set up tizi so that it's set to tizi@Home mode which you can find instructions on how to do here. Connect tizi to the same network that your Apple TV is connected to, choose your channel and turn on Mirroring over AirPlay.

    So for example, once you've picked your channel on tizi.tv on your iPhone, double click the iPhone's home button, swipe twice on the row of apps to go left past the music controls and tap the AirPlay button.

    Yes, you can use timeshift with tizi.tv and your iOS device – just hit pause!

    Get a copy of the tizi Video Recycler! Make a quiek digital copy of your tapes and then take them to the dump! You’re happy, and so’s your wife!
    Of course. We tested tizi go with the iPhone 5 and the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter and it works perfectly.

    Open your recorded shows with QuickTime and choose “Export to iTunes”. Now you can transfer your shows to the iPad or Apple TV. Alternatively, you can also use apps such as Handbreak for this.

    If you can't seem to find any channels in the same place you used to find lots then it may be worth just resetting the app. To do this:

    • Please quit the app entirely by double clicking the home button, holding down on the tizi icon and pressing the red 'X' that appears.
    • Then go to the 'Settings' app on the iPad
    • Scroll down to tizi.tv > Reset App and Reset EPG > ON (both).
    • Then reset your tizi as well by poking a paperclip in the little hole on its side.
