You can run multiple events simultaneously, but each active event or active device running simultaneously requires its own license.
Example:
1 active event = 1 license
3 simultaneous events = 3 licenses
1 event running on 2 devices simultaneously = 2 licenses
⚠️ Running events without enough licenses may prevent events from activating properly and can affect uploads, sharing, or event performance.
9. 🔄 Switching Devices
Licenses are tied to the event, not the physical device.
This means you can:
move an event to another iPad
replace a device during an event
redownload events as needed
To switch devices, log in to the Curator Live website and go to the TOOLS page to unassign the current device before activating a new one.
Unassign the current device by clicking the iPad with the slash icon.
💡 Always confirm the event downloads successfully before going live.
💡 Best Practices
confirm event dates before purchasing per-event activations
test events before going live
keep devices updated
maintain available device storage
redownload events after making changes online
