# Multi-Device Licensing (Seats)

Running more than one booth? ALIVE uses a seat-based licensing model that lets you add devices to your account as your business grows.

---

## What Is a Seat?

A **seat** is a device license. Each iPad running ALIVE needs its own seat. Your subscription includes one seat, and you can add more as needed.

---

## How It Works

* **1 seat** = 1 device can use ALIVE
* **2 seats** = 2 devices can use ALIVE simultaneously
* **N seats** = N devices

All devices on the same account share:

* Your events and templates
* Your effect library and custom effects
* Your subscription plan (Basic or Pro)

---

## Checking Your Current Seats

1. Go to the **web dashboard** at [photobooth.alive-pic.com/dashboard](https://photobooth.alive-pic.com/dashboard)
2. View your current seat count and which devices are registered

---

## Pricing

Additional seats are billed at the same rate as your plan:

* **Basic Monthly:** $48 per device / month
* **Basic Yearly:** $24 per device / month (billed annually)
* **Pro Monthly:** $72 per device / month
* **Pro Yearly:** $36 per device / month (billed annually)

When you add a seat mid-billing cycle, the cost is **prorated** — you only pay for the remaining time in the current period.

## Adding a Seat

See [Adding a New Device Seat](/en/article/adding-a-new-device-seat-7v2ki0) for step-by-step instructions.

## Tips

* **Add seats before big events** — If you're running multiple booths, make sure all devices are licensed
* **Yearly saves more with multiple devices** — The discount compounds: 3 devices yearly vs monthly saves a significant amount
* **Remove unused seats** — If you sell an iPad or stop using a device, remove the seat from the **web dashboard** under **Device Management** to stop being billed. See [Registering a Device](/en/article/registering-a-device-efq3hy) for step-by-step removal instructions.
