    So the people who have problem “Please restart the activation at a later time.” Follow this:

    Open your online banking on your computer.
    Go to the Sicherheitverfahren
    Then go to PhotoTAN Verfahren Verlwalten

    And then delete all mobiles that you have so far activated from the top of the page.

    Then reactivate all mobiles.

    This worked for me.

  18. Good Morning, I have difficulty activating my Deutsche bank Photo Tan on my Android phone. If I enter my credentials, the same as on the DB website, I get the following message.
    “Please restart the activation at a later time.”
    Please advise what the reason for this can be.

  19. Good day, i can not activate my photoTAN, graphic and credentials are correct, but it says to reactivate later. What should i do? Thank you.

    I am using photoTAN and photoTAN push. Since two week, they stopped working. When I use photoTAN this error appear: ‘An error occurred. After scanning the photo TAN graphic an error occured. Please try again later or contact your customer support’. And when I use the photo TAN push the following error appear: HTTP 503 HTTP 503 failed to connect

  32. Hello,
    Recently, I changed my smartphone. The new one is SONY Xperia 10-III.
    I have installed Photo tan app. In the activation process, I scanned the color dots but immediately, the message appears on the smartphone.—-
    An error occurred.
    The scanned graphic cannot be used
    for activation. Please scan the graphic
    from your activation letter.

    What I guess is, the aspect ratio of the diplay causes this problem.
    The new smartphone has a display aspect ratio of 21:9. Therefore phototan looks like stretched according to the aspect ratio.
    Are there any setting to solve this problem?

  33. I cannot activate my app without logging in to online banking. I cannot log in into online banking without activating the app!
