Did you install Kodi yourself or was it included on the box? Did you install any add-ons?

I've never seen those messages pop up with normal Kodi. I would uninstall the version that came with it and use Kodi from the Google Play Store or from our download page.

Thanks for your advice Ned,i have found a version(v14.0) which seems to work.

I have the exact same problem ! The kicker is that I downloaded the default recovery image from the sumvision website and I get this message. No clue as to whats happening !
Sumvision Cyclone X4 / non bluetooth version.
One thing I noticed was that though my box had kodi on it, the recovery image came with XBMC ! I later installed the Kodi 14.2 version (which is supposed to be the version for this box) but still get the same error.
Please help !

I managed to sort this out.
I removed the existing kodi version from the box.
Downloaded the latest kodi 15.2 for the Sumvision Cyclone X4 (non bluetooth version). THis is the official kodi for this box.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dv79ih3k2gg7cjw/KODI_15.2_for_Android_X4.apk
Put it onto a USB stick and just install the apk.
Once I installed this version, I did not get the "Invalid MAC" and "activation failed" error messages.
If you dont trust this link, you can also find it on the facebook site for sumvision - it is not available on the website !! strange.

Hope it works for you too !

There is only one official Kodi, and that comes from http://kodi.tv/download/
