# Adding a New Device Seat

Got a new iPad? Here's how to add it to your ALIVE account.

---

## How to Add a Seat

1. Go to the **web dashboard** at [photobooth.alive-pic.com/dashboard](https://photobooth.alive-pic.com/dashboard)
2. Navigate to your subscription
3. Add a new device seat
4. Confirm the additional billing (prorated for the current period)
5. The new seat is activated immediately

---

## Setting Up the New Device

1. Install **ALIVE Photobooth** on the new iPad
2. **Sign in** with your existing account credentials
3. The device registers automatically and uses the new seat
4. Your events, templates, and effects sync to the new device

---

## Prorated Billing

When you add a seat mid-billing cycle, you're only charged for the remaining days in the current period. At the next renewal, the full seat price is included.

**Example:** If you add a seat 15 days into a monthly cycle, you pay roughly half the monthly rate for that first period.

## Managing Multiple Devices

With multiple seats, you can:

* Run simultaneous booths at the same event
* Send different iPads to different events on the same day
* Have a backup device ready to go

---

## Tips

* **Test the new device** — Sign in, sync, and run a test event before bringing it to a live event
* **Name each device** — Use [Device Name](/en/article/device-name-and-identification-1xdaw1o) to label each iPad so you can tell them apart
* **Plan ahead** — Add seats before you need them, not at the event venue while guests are waiting

| Adding a seat is instant. If you land a last-minute gig that needs two booths, you can add a seat on the spot.
