Sharing TiviMate Premium Across Devices (Family Use Guide)

TiviMate Premium is licensed per account — not per device — which means you can use one Premium subscription across multiple devices in your household, as long as you activate it correctly.

This guide shows you how TiviMate Premium licensing works, how to activate on Firestick/Android TV, and how to manage your device limit.

How TiviMate Premium licensing works

TiviMate Premium is managed through TiviMate Companion (Android phone/tablet). Once you’ve purchased Premium, you activate it on each streaming device by signing in with the same Companion account.

Device limit: One Premium account supports up to 5 devices (the limit is enforced inside Companion). 

Best practice: Keep Premium within your household. If you regularly rotate devices or share outside your home, you’ll hit the device limit faster and end up deactivating/reactivating more often.

Step 1 — Buy Premium (once) using TiviMate Companion

You only need to do this part one time:

1. Install TiviMate Companion on an Android phone/tablet

2. Purchase Premium inside Companion

3. Note the account credentials you used (you’ll need them to activate on Firestick/Android TV)

Step 2 — Activate Premium on each device (Firestick / Android TV / Shield)

On the streaming device:

1. Open TiviMate

2. Go to Settings

3. Select Unlock Premium

4. Choose Account

5. Sign in using the same Companion account credentials

Repeat on each device you want to enable.

Step 3 — Manage devices (when you hit the limit)

If you see activation errors or you’ve reached the device limit, open TiviMate Companion and remove old devices you no longer use, then activate again.

This is the cleanest way to stay within the 5-device cap.

Premium

These are different:

• Premium = unlocked features (account/device activation)

• Setup = your playlists, EPG, groups, favourites, settings

If you want all devices to look the same, use TiviMate’s Backup/Restore feature to copy your configuration after Premium is activated.

Troubleshooting quick fixes

• Premium isn’t showing: Make sure you signed into Unlock Premium → Account with the exact same Companion account.

• Activation failed / limit reached: Remove old devices in Companion, then retry.

• Mixing accounts: If one device is logged into a different account, it can look “half activated.” Log out and re-login under the correct account.

Final thoughts

For family use, the winning setup is:

1. Buy Premium once in TiviMate Companion

2. Activate on each device via Unlock Premium → Account

3. Use Backup/Restore to clone your perfect layout across devices
