HBO Max Can't Verify Subscription

Let's get you signed in to HBO Max, Haydengra.

In order to provide support we need to know a little more about your experience.

• What troubleshooting steps have you tried? There are a couple of reasons that can explain why you're receiving that notification:
  • If you haven't activated your HBO Max benefit yet with a qualifying AT&T service then here are the steps you will want to take:
    1. Go to your myAT&T account overview via the web (not on myAT&T app). 
    2. Look for the Activate HBO Max or Start Watching tile.
    3. Click Activate if it appears.
    4. Download HBO Max app from your favorite app store.
    5. Open HBO Max app and select the Person icon.
    6. Select Sign In, then Sign in with a Provider.
    7. Select AT&T and enter the AT&T User ID and Password.
       • Confirm the log-in used is the User ID and Password associated with HBO Max benefit): 
    8. Start Streaming!
  • You are using the incorrect AT&T user ID, from an account that doesn’t include the qualifying AT&T service, with HBO Max.
    
    • See "Which AT&T user ID do I use to sign in to HBO Max?" when you visit HBO Max sign-in FAQ.

Also, if you've been using HBO Max and recently encountered this subscription verification trend then you may need to sign out completely from the HBO Max app then sign back in with the Sign in with a Provider option.

Reach back out to us and let us know how this goes. If you still need assistance then we can invite you into a Direct Message to provide additional support.
