How to unlock the app on Mi Stick which was purcased on Fire Stick?

[Nabukodonosor 13]

Hey guys. I purchased the app (Unlock app option) earlier this year using my Amazon account, for my FireStick. Screenshot of the purcase below. Now I want to use it on my Mi Stick 4k, but I don't know how to unlock it, and not pay it again, since I can use it on multiple device, right? How can I do this?

Hi.  Sorry but Amazon and Google are two different stores so they are separate purchases.

Thanks for the support.

So, I have to buy it again?! Jesus. I will just try something else, maybe Jellyfish.

Emby Premiere works across all devices but, when we are in different store fronts, the owners of those stores require their own payments.

We work very hard on Emby and we thank you for your support. Emby Premiere is another way you can also unlock for all devices:

Why does it say playback not supported? I know when I installed it the first time on my other device I had like a month or something to use before I couldn't anymore and had to buy the app. Now it says playback not support right from the start!?

Hi.  The trial period is shared between the two.  So you can't just re-install on another device and get a new trial.

haha! So, when I have to pay again then my accounts are not connected and I have to pay again, but when I have to get a new trial on that NOT CONNECTED device they are somehow connected account?! Precious!

 

EDIT: And one more thing. How's the trial shared between the two?! These are two different devices, with 2 different accounts on them, one Google and one Amazon. Nothing is common to these 2 devices. So, how this Emby instance knows this is me?! It has a camera and saw me in my room?! If my neighbor get's an Android box and installs Emby on it, will I share this Emby with him too?!?! Since my 2 devices have the same number of things in common as I do with my neighbor.

The trial period is our functionality but the purchases are controlled by the respective stores (Amazon and Google).

They are connected to the same server running the app.  If we allowed the trial on each new install, you could keep using the app indefinitely by simply re-installing it.

We provide a lot of functionality for free but, for Emby to continue to improve and exist, we need to pay people to make that happen.  This requires revenue.

Thanks for your support.

Already bought it. Again. But I was just wondering, since I don't even use the same email address, how it sees me as the same user. But I guess the same server is the answer. Thanks anyway.
