Identify the list you are reading
A player, app store and service can each maintain their own records. A television appearing in an app-store device list does not prove that the service currently has an active stream there. A saved login entry is not necessarily a live server session.
Read the actual provider documentation for the view. Some lists include remembered or historical devices; others show current activity. Do not turn every row into an active viewer count without understanding the field.
Separate installation, sign-in and playback
Installing an application creates local software. Signing in can establish account access. Opening media can create another resource or viewing session. These events can have different expiry and revocation behaviour.
An illustrative account may remember three devices while allowing a separately defined number of active streams. The example explains distinct quantities, not a limit offered by IPTV Canada. Its approved term totals do not establish an active-stream count or unrestricted transfers.
End access through the actual control
Closing a video, signing out, removing a registered device and uninstalling software can have different effects. Use the provider's supported method for the intended task. A player disappearing from the home screen does not prove every server-side session was revoked.
If a device is lost, sold or no longer authorized, ask which account-side action removes its access. A password change may or may not end existing sessions depending on the system. Keep the answer specific to that provider rather than assuming universal behaviour.
A session can also remain listed after playback stops according to the provider's own lifecycle. Record the actual stop time and displayed state, then ask about the supported close or transfer process rather than inventing a universal timeout.
Verify the relevant outcome
After a supported session removal or transfer, test the intended authorized device once and confirm the actual account state where the provider exposes it. Do not open extra streams merely to discover the commercial limit.
Keep private identifiers and session tokens out of public screenshots. A safe support report names the device role, time and exact message. The useful result is an understood access state and a confirmed viewing allowance, with remembered devices, active sessions and permitted concurrent playback kept separate.

Does renewing a term automatically allow more sessions?
No such condition is established by the approved duration and price schedule. Confirm the actual allowance separately.
