Statement about device limit

@Cleo your feedback was part of the decision

Dat lijkt me teveel eer. Bij mijn reizen neem ik al teveel navigatie apparatuur mee maar als er een van de drie nog getroffen kan worden door een blokkade is het heel droevig. Die derde is namelijk de enige waar ik routes nog op kan aanpassen.

Maar als jullie de mogelijkheid bieden om extra licenties af te nemen, bijvoorbeeld de huidige 2 met 3 licenties uitbreiden dan heb ik daar geen moeite mee, mag zelf op jaar basis als extra bij de lifetime edities.
Ik heb er namelijk geen enkele moeite mee dat jullie inspanning ook beloond wordt.
Ipad, Prive telefoon, zo af en toe zakelijk telefoon en een om met mijn zoon samen kunnen te rijden is net wat meer dan twee.

fot me i am not happy because of 2... if it would 3 no problems. but this is what it is, 3 means in my case only 2 max activated. me and my partner. for backup i have to do special method when only offline.

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Bouke-Ent I don’t see the problem! With your current subscription you always have access to three devices. What are the chances that one of them stops working while you’re on the road? Negligible. And if you do need that third one, all you have to do is click the red “exit” icon next to one of the other two devices. Problem solved. And of course you’re free to buy an extra licence—then you definitely won’t have any issues at all!

@Rob-Verhoeff it is good for you that you do not see the problem.... please explane how to have always acces to three devices if offline? please explane,,,,, i have a option and spoken it with support so it can work but it is a work arround.

Please have the discussion privately or in another topic

@Corjan-Meijerink Ich bitte Sie die Logik so anzupassen, dass man bei Erreichen des Gerätelimits am aktuell verwendeten Gerät ein anderes Gerät abmelden kann um sich am aktuellen Gerät anzumelden. Adobe verwendet diese Logik. Damit würde die missbräuchliche Verwendung ebenso verhindert, dem User Ärger erspart bleiben und ihr Team hätte weniger Aufwand. Vor einigen Tagen habe ich eine solche Möglichkeit bei der MyRouteApp gesehen und habe darauf vertraut. Heute kam dieser Bildschirm nicht und mein Konto wurde gesperrt. (Ich habe mich bereits an den Support gewendet).

@Reinhard-Punz @Cleo

If topic is open in English, if anybody writes in English... why you write in other language?

No all people here knows Dutch or German.

Please, have a little respect for people that writes in English when his first language is Spanish. If we do, you can do.

Regards.

That already is exactly how it works...
No change necessary.

@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.

[Reinhard Punz]

@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.

[Reinhard Punz]

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.

[Con Hennekens]

@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.

[M. Schrijver]

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.
