    Managing Devices - identification versus limits

    HI - I have successfully installed and run VUDUToGo on various devices I own (mostly PCs), and am preparing for a trip on which my wife and I are bringing our new laptops. In trying to "manage devices", I realized that what is showing on my account is a weird combination of probably correct devices mixed with just weird things. The first thing I noticed is that devices show up with an activation date - which seem reasonable, but the only identification is a hex number like "device id: 0x7". There is a place to update in a device name, but with most of the devices I added, I worked with several at a time and there does not appear to be any way to figure out which is which. Today, I added one device, and I am pretty sure there were 5 devices yesterday, and now it looks like there are 9, which doesn't help a lot. If VUDU kept track of (and made available) which device ids have downloaded which movies, I could work backwards to identify the devices by the content they contain.

    Nowhere does it specify what "deactivate" actually means - for example, can it be easily re-activated later? will all downloaded content have to be re-downloaded? Will it just make current content unusable? or does it just make it so that it can't download new content? With my current ISP, downloading a movie is 30 minutes+, so I don't want to be doing it more than I have to. Here at my daughter's house, it is more like 10 minutes which is much better.

    I am perfectly willing to "manage" my devices, and the license-agreement number of 5 is tolerable, but not ideal (9-12 would fit me better). I see indications that the "5" is not strictly enforced, but I really don't want to be somewhere on a trip with poor wifi and get a message that I have exceeded a limit somewhere. I buy, try and abandon lots of desktops, laptops, tablets and other digital toys. I really don't want to be worrying about "device management" all the time.

    In general, I like what I have seen with VUDU - the whole disc-to-digital concept seems well executed - except for having no idea which movies will or will not be eligible to convert. I have not moved to purchasing new content because I have to be sure that this is a long-term workable system (physical dvds have the benefit of being MINE)

    Other similar device registrations (Norton AntiVirus 10 computer license) fill in the system name of the computer being activated.

    Re: Managing Devices - identification versus limits

    Device management is a trial and error thing. For best results add one device at a time and then change to a meaningful name. Don't add all 5 and then go in to manage them. It appears that mainly computers give a crazy name - I recalled getting names like Xbox or LG TV or Sony PS3 or Sony Media Player from those devices. My phone says LG G2. If you remove a device you can always put the same one back at any time as many times as you like.

    If you remove a PC all the movies are deleted so you will have to download again.

    Another weird thing is that Apple products, at least an iPad I added, don't show up in the Device Manager. It can only be removed by customer service I was told.

      iPads don't count toward Devices. however Android products do.

        The Vudu Spark didn't count either.

          Lucky you Spark counted as a device for me. I set one up the other day and had to deactivate a device before it would let me sign in. I was at the limit prior to that.

              Mmmm? Strange, maybe I wasn't at the limit then? I'll have to check, what is it 8?
