    where “Test User” is the user’s Windows login name.

Can I use the magicApp on multiple devices?

For each subscription, you can have only one companion app. While you can setup the magicApp on multiple devices, you cannot be logged in at the same time on different devices. You can only switch between devices with the same operating system. For example, if you are using the magicApp on an Apple iOS device, you can only use the magicApp on another Apple iOS device. To use the same account on an Android device, the subscription setting will need to be reset.
