      Hi there yildizaykut, thanks for checking in with us - let's see what we can find. 

      As a first step, could you confirm for me if you're on a Basic account by going to your Plan tab and check if you have more than three devices already linked on your Security tab?

      Let me know what you find!

        Yes, I am on a Basic account and I have more than three devices already linked. What can I do next?

        Thank you very much for your consideration,
