Hi forum, hello Tim!

I´d like to know - before I press the "install-button" ‌‌- wether the following idea works:
- I use 2 iPads with SD installed and logged in perfectly while flying‌.
- I also use SD on two WIN-PCs‌
- ‌additionally I have an android-device (my cellphone), currently without an SD installation

As I know, SD provides‌‌ 2 licenses for mobile devices and 2 for Windows-PCs which I use completely.
‌Now I ask myself:
Can I install one more‌ SD on my android-phone (as a safety-backup) and conduct a flight like this in the future:
* t/o with both ‌working iPads
* e.g due to battery failure one pad stops working
* now I´d like to swing over to my android-device and launch SD to have a second SD-device again‌, my iPad and the android.

Maybe on the next day, when the battery of the iPad is recharged, I don´t use my android version anymore but my two iPads again.

Is that working without violating the license-policy‌‌‌‌ AND without having difficulties concerning logging in/out from the SD-servers or something?

Thanks for clearing up my sky,
Renzo‌‌‌

My understanding is that SkyDemon is licensed for two mobile devices. Not two at the same time. Two. If you want to use SkyDemon on three devices, there are three options. A - accept the need to repeatedly log in as you flout the license conditions, and hope that Tim doesn't decide to implement the published rule more strictly. B - buy a second license. C - ask Tim nicely to produce a three-device license at for a (small) additional cost.

Well...
I fear that my post has been misunderstood‌.

I know that there are‌‌ 2 mobile licenses
I don´t need a third one
I just asked  for a way to avoid the warning which appears on one of my two iPads, when I previously logged in e.g. my android-device. Of course before logging in the android-device I logged off one of the iPads. Thats all I´d like to know or better: I just want to understand how the registering on the server is working. Nothing more. But maybe it is too difficult to describe what I mean (see my post here: http://forums.skydemon.aero/FindPost23491.aspx )

Best wishes,
Renzo

I don´t need a third one

If you are planning on using SkyDemon on three devices, like you have stated above, then yes I believe you do need a third mobile licence.
I‌f you simply want to use your phone as a backup in case of hardware failure, then putting up with an error message on the failed device should not really be an issue, as I would assume once back on the ground you would re-log back in on the failed device and the working iPad and this would then log-out the backup mobile.

J‌ust out of curiosity, what are you using two iPads for simultaneously showing SkyDemon in the cockpit?‌
