Seagate 4tb 2-year Onedrive 200gb Icloud Storage Promotion

Recently purchased a Seagate 4TB Backup Plus portable storage (SN NA7PY91B), as promotion on packaging stated "OneDrive +200GB includes 2-year Cloud Storage Must activate by June 30, 2017". I installed Seagate's Dashboard and whenever I run Add Cloud and click on OneDrive, the message 'Dashboard does not backup to OneDrive - The OneDrive application syncronizes your files and photos for access on your phone, tablet and computer' and two options available are 'Learn more and 'Install OneDrive' ... both are links to OneDrive site to register an account. There is no coupon or promotional details inside the Seagate packaging to avail the 2-year 200GB OneDrive cloud storage. What must I do to avail the Seagate promotion?.
