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

I would like to request that the limit be increased to 3 generally.  This is my reasoning:

I have 2 tablets, one primary, one backup.  These live in my flight bag and get configured with my planned route. 
I also have SD on my phone and use it for keeping an eye the weather, notams, etc. when I'm not near my bag.

What concerns me is that I login on my phone which then logs out my backup device.  If my primary fails in flight then I will have to try to login on the backup in the cockpit, which is not ideal and maybe not even possible.

There is a fundamental difference in scenario that Tim outlined above.  When the device disconnects from the internet it does not remove the login session tokens and SD will continue to operate.
