I need help with Emby. I'm completely lost.

[pvnk 1]

Hello, I've had Emby for almost 3 years now and I never had any problem until like 6 months ago. I had set up my Emby server on Computer A which I used as the main server and I accessed to it on my TV, phone 1, phone 2,  tablet 1 and tablet 2. Everything was super fine. I logged in thru my username and password. 

6 months ago i factory reset my computer and lost my emby server which i had to install and set it up again and when i tried to log in with my username and pasword, it didnt let me. I had to create a new user name and password to create a new server which was now on Computer B and everything was working fine until i started to get logged out of my tablets and phones continusly. I had no other issue other than put my username and password again and that would be it but since 3 months ago i haven't been able to log in with my same username and password.. also i have linked and unliked my account like 3 or more times because i just can't get it to work....

I have just now created a THIRD user account for emby to see if it will work (again on computer B ) but I'm worried because i have the emby premiere suscription and everytme i put my emby key on these new accounts, it tells me that i have a limit of X times to use it... Anyone know what can i do to not have this problem anymore? I'm only using it on my house which has the same wifi signal in both floors...

Where do you get such warning? AFAIK you can use same Premiere key as many times as you like on as many servers, I reckon I'd inserted mine in at least 40-50 server instances over the years with absolutely zero issues.

Edit: Only limiting factor might be number of devices, which is cummulative if your have multiple instances running inside the approximately same timeframe, but per your description you shouldn't have any issues with that.

Then you're right. It might be a confussion of mine (im sorry english is not my first language) but eitherway I'm worried about these divices "staying linked" to my other accounts because everytime i open my Emby app on my TV or phones, tablets, all my other usernames are there and i don't know how to remove them or simply make them disappear so only one is selected and used.

Devices are tracked irrespective of users, and limits are per devices, not per users. Inactive devices will drop by themselves after about a week of inactivity, so nothing to worry about there.
