HBO Max Activation Guide
How do I activate my HBO Max bundled access?
We will send an activation link via SMS and/or email within 24 hours after your eligible StarHub service has been fully activated. Then, you can activate your HBO Max bundled access in 3 simple steps:
Step 1:
Click on the activation link that will lead you to the StarHub App. Please update the app to the latest version if you haven’t done so.
Note: If you have not received the activation link via SMS or email after 24 hours from your service activation, you can simply go to the StarHub App, click on the “Entertainment” tab and select “HBO Max”.
• Click on “Manage & Info” under the HBO Max section.
• Tap on “Manage subscription”.
Step 2:
The HBO Max Subscription page will display the HBO Max bundled access that’s tied to your StarHub Service. Click "Activate" to proceed to the HBO Max webpage and create a HBO Max account.
Step 3:
On the HBO Max webpage, enter an email address, password, and your name to create your HBO Max account. If you are entitled to more than one HBO Max bundled access, please use a different email address and password to create separate HBO Max accounts.
Note: If you have an existing HBO Max subscription directly with HBO Max, you can use the same email address to activate your HBO Max account with the bundled access from StarHub. Once confirmed, your HBO Max subscription directly with HBO Max will automatically be cancelled and you will be billed via StarHub only (where applicable).
You are all set to go! You can start streaming on www.hbomax.com or download the app on your mobile devices.
If activation is unsuccessful, please reach out to us via Facebook or WhatsApp for immediate assistance.
