How do licenses work? How many iPads or iPhones can I use? Share Station?
Wondering how many iPads or iPhones you can use with your plan? Here's how licensing works across Free, Basic, Pro, and Pro+ subscriptions.
Device Limits by Plan
| Plan | iPhones | iPads |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1 (either iPhone or iPad) | 1 total device |
| Pro (Includes free trial) | Unlimited | 1 |
| Pro+ | Unlimited | 4 (included) – Add more iPads at extra cost |
💡 Event credits are counted at the Pro level, so even Free users get access to those features.
What Counts as a Licensed Device?
Licensing is based on the number of devices in use at the same time.
If you own multiple iPads but only ever use one at a time (e.g., for testing or backup), you only need one iPad license.
What Happens If a Device Isn’t Licensed?
Devices without a license can’t launch events or upload content.
When you open the app on an unlicensed device, it will:
Try to assign itself a free license
If none are available, it will prompt you to “Activate This Device”, which:
- Unlicenses all other devices in order to continue
- No data is lost when a device is unlicensed—it just can’t capture or upload until it’s re-licensed.
Manage Your Device Licenses
- Go to the Devices page.
- See which devices are licensed.
- Remove any devices to free up licenses for new ones.
To prevent abuse, we may limit how frequently a device can be removed from the license list.
