Server admin Premiere licence

[Syztemlord 7]

Hi guys, is there a way to always have the server admin have a Premiere licence?

I see that I'm over limit in the status but some times admin still keeps Premiere access but other times it goes for a few days until a licence free's up.

I don't want to purchase more device limit, just thought that admin would always be Premiere enabled? @ebr

Premiere license is tied to a server, not user - being admin or not has zero effect on that (as any user theoretically can be made an admin). Only devices limit count. 

Is there a limit to Emby Premiere?

Thanks Grim, I suspected so.

Might be a worthwhile option for the future?

That's something for the Devs to comment on, but personally don't think it'd be realistic expectation, as it'd require some core changes (as users/type of users never played any part in it) and as you can have 20-30-50 admins on your server - which one should have access then? All of them? If not, how to determine which one? Additional user-type layer? That'd have to be thought throughout and don't think it'd happen any time soon, if ever. But as said, that's only my personal opinion.

Keep in mind it's a device license and not a user license.  As long as the device itself has used a Premiere feature recently and hasn't fallen off the Premiere Device list it should not give up its Premiere device license.

If an admin or user logs into Emby using a different device/PC and you're over the Premiere device license limit it won't be able to get a Premiere license which is expected behavior,

@Syztemlord

With the above in mind, did you log in as admin on a different device/pc that hasn't used a Premiere feature in the last week?
