Before switching, identify a compatible player on the new device and confirm account connection rules. Stop playback on the old screen, then use the issued login format. A separate app licence may need its own transfer or activation process; moving subscription details does not automatically move a publisher’s device licence.
Why it matters
TV and phone apps can accept different account formats even with the same source. An old active session can also trigger a connection warning when the new device begins playback.
Work through the steps
- Find the new model and supported player installation route.
- Stop playback on the old device before testing another.
- Confirm app-licence or registration transfer with the publisher.
What to avoid

Keep the working setup until the replacement is assessed. Do not erase delivery records. For device-based registration, use the correct current identifier privately through the verified route.
