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?‌

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

Logging off on a device does nothing to its status on our server - after all, you can log off when you're not connected to the internet. It's just a way of getting you back to the start so you can log on again.

Your sequence of operations is a little confusing but I think you've perhaps missed the point. Being logged in to the SkyDemon system isn't the same as the device being switched on, or SkyDemon actually running. It means that device is logged in.

If you log in on a third mobile device, one of your first two mobile devices will become logged out‌‌, it's as simple as that.

Sorry for coming back again but I´d loke to understand it correctly:

‌I understood that three devices are not possible at the same time.
I understand that logging in a third device logs off a previous‌ly used device.

‌Is it right that:
‌once I ran SD on any mobile device, then the *device* is "logged on" or "registered" on the SD-server-system - independent wether SD is running or logged in? So we´re talking about *hardware* which is logged in?

My question: can I log off mobile devices from the server?

Kind regards,
Renzo‌‌

Yes – go to Setup > Logout


TNX for the info, I already did that. But when I log off one of my two iPads and log in my android-phone instead of one of the iPads AND later on I log off the android again followed by a login of the previously logged off iPad: I get the "not properloy logged in"-warning on the iPad.

I know its difficult to describe and it sounds quite complicated what I want to know. I thought my step-by-step-sequence above did the job.

Best regards,
Renzo

You're allowed to be logged in on two mobile devices at once. If you log in on the Android device, it will log out one of your iOS devices.

If you wish to be logged in on more than two mobile‌ devices at once you can contact us directly to enquire about corporate licenses and other license types.‌

Tim, could you help me out of that:
What is to do if I´d like to avoid the "the device is not properly logged in"-warning which appears when I e.g. had logged on my 2 iPads in the past AND log now my Android-phone in.

In the past I tried this:
* I worked with both iPads using SD
‌* on iPad 1 I just quit SD and switched the iPad standby.
* on iPad 2 I logged out of the SD-server (in my opinion to get a kind of "slot" for any other mobile device)
* after logging out I quit SD and did not use iPad 2.
* ‌I logged in my Android-Phone and used SD on the phone.
THEN
* I logged out SD on the Android-Phone‌‌ and quit SD
* I logged in ‌SD again on iPad 2 and got that "not properly logged in" - warning.

Why? Is there something I did not understand? Do I maybe have to register my Android-Phone seperately?

Thanks for your hints,
Renzo‌‌‌
