Device Registration & Multi-Device Setup

When you sign into ALIVE on a new iPad, the device is registered automatically. Here's how it works — whether you're setting up one booth or ten.

How Device Registration Works

1. Install ALIVE Photobooth from the App Store
2. Sign in with your account
3. Grant all required permissions (camera, microphone, photo library, local network)
4. The device is automatically registered and uses one of your licensed seats

That's it. No manual registration steps needed.

Viewing Your Devices

• In the app: Settings → Account to see your Device ID and name
• On the web: photobooth.alive-pic.com/dashboard → Devices to see all registered devices

Removing a Device

If you sell, replace, or stop using an iPad:

1. Go to the web dashboard → Devices
2. Find the device you want to remove
3. Click Remove to unlink it
4. The seat is freed up for a new device

Setting Up Multiple Devices

Prerequisites

• Each device needs its own seat (device license)
• All devices sign into the same ALIVE account
• Each device needs ALIVE installed and permissions granted

For Each iPad

1. Install ALIVE from the App Store
2. Sign in with your account credentials
3. Grant all required permissions
4. Set a unique Device Name (e.g., "Booth 1", "Booth 2")
5. The device registers automatically

What Syncs Across Devices

All devices on the same account share:

• Events and event settings
• Templates (built-in and custom)
• AI effects and custom effects
• Account settings and subscription

Running Multiple Booths at One Event

1. Create your event on one device
2. The event syncs to all devices
3. Go live on each device separately
4. All photos from all booths upload to the same event gallery

Running Different Events on Different Devices

1. Create separate events for each occasion
2. On each iPad, select and go live with the appropriate event
3. Each device captures to its own event gallery

Tips

• Name your devices — Use Device Names and consider physical labels on the iPads
• Test all devices before events — Make sure each one is working properly
• Bring chargers for all — Multiple iPads = multiple power needs
• Same Wi-Fi for printing — If printing, all devices need to reach the same print server
• Keep track of seats — Don't pay for devices you no longer use
