There are situations where you are forced to change your email address to a new one. Make it is possible to transfer premium account holdership to new email address.

    Hi @Marc, 

    The feature I requested has already been taken forward as a wish to improve.  I previously received a response from support that it is not currently possible to transfer a Premium license to another email address.  

    This should tell you when you are buying a Premium license. Now I have paid for 6 months (1 year license) which I am unable to take advantage of.

    BR, Risto

    @Karl_From_Fing, thinking out loud.  Could support not delete the old account / email address, create a new account and credit the remaining balance to that new account as a one off?

    Hey @Marc and @RistoJ
    Based on our user feedback we are attempting to implement a process to allow this, it isn't  as streamlined as it stands, but we have a workaround we are utilising at the moment. RistoJ, do you still have a support ticket open in relation to this?

    Hi @Karl_From_Fing ,

    I made a support request as part of assigning my Fingbox mac address to my new email address. I will send you a ticket number as a private message. However, I do not know if the ticket has already been closed, but I received a response from the support that it would not be possible to transfer the license. Thanks for help!

    BR,

    Risto

    I too need to change the registered email for my Fing account. As I prepare to change ISPs I am moving to non-ISP email service. My annual renewal is up next month. Do I need to let it lapse and re-subscribe under the new email? That seems like a bit much.

    Uh, thank you. I am migrating away from my IPS supplied email in preparation for changing ISPs. The question still stands: How do I change my Fing registered email? I am at a renewal cycle. Should I allow my Fing account to lapse and re-subscribe under my new email? As I said previously: That seems to be a bit much to do just to update contact info. I need an answer soon as my subscription is nearly at the renewal point.

    This may be a common issue. My former ISP does not exist anymore, which means that anything using my old email address is sending messages into the ether. I know multiple other people who have similar situations.

    Hey @AlanDean
    It would be easier if you have a subscription to let it lapse and set up a new premium account on the new account you want associated, so if the subscription renewal date is soon please do it via this method.

    I too am having this issue, I paid for Premium which is not up yet, and need to change the email because it is going away.  In like a day or so.

    Not sure what you mean by 'Canned emails' but I did notice you have a ticket you created yesterday so I've merged them into one another and we can tackle it in the single support ticket now
