Find out how to activate your primary PS4™ system.
Activating a primary PS4 links your PlayStation system to your account and allows you to access PlayStation™ Store purchases. Depending on the content you want to access, there are different activation restrictions:
Games
1 primary PS4
2 PS3 systems
2 portable PlayStation systems (PSP or PS Vita/TV)
Video
1 primary PS4
1 PS3
3 portable PlayStation systems (PSP or PS Vita/TV)
Each player can have one PS4 activated as the primary PS4 for their account.
There are no primary activations on PS3.
There are no primary activations on PS Vita/TV.
Each account can have one primary PS4. To change a primary PS4, you must first manually deactivate the previous primary PS4.
If you have reached your activation limit for PS3 or PS Vita/TV, you can manually deactivate each system.
If you find that you cannot sign out or manually deactivate a PlayStation system, you can perform a remote deactivation of all PlayStation devices. This action can only be performed once every six months.
