6 years agoHey Tissie, I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with this!
There are a few things we can check to see if that will resolve the issue for you as some have found different steps helped them.

If they aren't then please try the steps listed here to see if that does the trick.

not happy now, I clicked in the main part of the account tab while holding down the space bar, and now it has unlinked my main pc. When I try to link again it tells me I now only have the option of 3 linked devices, where I had 4. So NOW I have to upgrade and pay!!. Is this how they get people to pay ? As I said NOT HAPPY
