Statement about device limit

[Reinhard Punz]

@Lluis-Arasanz I didn't mean to be rude. Since I don't speak English, I'm dependent on translation programs. I'll give it a try; hopefully, it will work.

@Con-Hennekens Yes, I saw this option a few days ago. However, this message didn't appear today, and my account was immediately blocked. I use up to four devices, but always alternately and never simultaneously. I think it shouldn't matter to the operators of the "MyRouteApp" if I use the app on more than two devices, as long as it's not at the same time. At least, that's how I understood the announcement.

Perfect, thank you for using translation

If you use up to three devices alternately, but at the fourth device added, you account is blocked. Three is the max limit.

Thanks for the information. It's still a shame, though, and I hope the MyRouteApp developers reconsider this strategy. I understand the reasoning behind it and support it. However, if the costs are indeed incurred due to the number of simultaneous map system uses, it shouldn't matter how many devices I use the app on, as long as it's not done at the same time.

@Reinhard-Punz, you are forgetting the part of the release notes that explained that HERE is charging per device. Therefore a limit is in place, and you can contact support for extra device licences if necessary.

because of new contracts with our suppliers we also have to implement a device limit per subscription.
As we now pay per active phone we cannot (ignorantly) allow users to use our app on an unlimited amount of phones.

Maybe i missed it somewhere but can i see how many devices are logged with my account?

I have a third device (use it very occassionly) with the app installed. Because of the new rule i uninstalled the app on that third device but i did not logged out first. So in theory i'm still logged in with 3 devices. But can i check that?

[Con Hennekens]

@M.-Schrijver, yes: profile icon top right, scroll down, second option from below: My Devices.

You will only be able to see the two active device. If you log on to the third, you will be asked to logoff one of the two available.

Thank you, I hadn't actually noticed that. It doesn't make the situation any more pleasant, but at least it's understandable.

@Corjan-MeijerinExactl This happened in about 2015 on SkyDemon flight planning and moving map program for the same reason users were letting multiple people log on with their details costing the company many many pounds. That was pure theft.
