Limit Account usage (simultaneous logins)

Good morning everyone,

I am very interested in purchasing s2Member PRO for Wordpress but I need to know a few things prior to purchase.

Does S2Member PRO allow to restrict multiple simultaneous logins?

To put this in perspective, think of the way Netflix operates. You can only allow X amount of devices and login to 1 or 2 of them at a time. If that limit is reached the account is then restricted. My website is for Video publishing and require a very secure way to monitor and prevent multiple login activities.

Thank you for your help!

s2Member has an access restriction related to unique IPs that will help you. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Unique IP

To prevent simultaneous logins specifically, though, you can try one of these https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/se ... eous+login

I hope that helps. :)

Hi Cristian,

I will look into those other options. From what I've seen nothing really tailors to what I need. What kind of pricing are we talking about if I needed some a customized plugin from S2Member?

If Jason is interested in adding the feature to s2Member, he may be willing to accept a donation towards it to speed up its development and give you en ETA. I'll show him this thread.

What are you looking for specifically?
I'll be happy to have a look and/or give you a quote/ETA if we feel it's possible.

Hi Jason,

I'm looking to get a system in place that will limit account access by tracking IPs. I am planning on offering a paid subscription service but currently have no way of limiting the use of accounts. What I need is something that will kick off any simultaneous duplicate account logins to restrict unlawful use of the account. 1 user may use his account at any time but this will discourage people from sharing their login credentials with friends, family or co-workers.

OK. So s2Member suits your needs, as-is, but you need supplemental routines to prevent any single account from being accessed together at the same time. Do I have that right, or did I miss something? Sounds simple enough, please confirm again and I'll contact you via email with a quote. Thanks!

Hi Jason,

I'm not sure S2Member suits the needs. I didn't purchase the plugin yet, I wanted these questions answered before I purchase. Feel free to contact me via email at:
