I managed to break my Sony Xperia X -phone, in which I have bought the Sailfish X license. If I have to get a new phone can I install my old Sailfish to the new Xperia X -phone? Or do I have to by a new Sailfish license?

Hi. You can install Sailfish OS to the new phone without buying another license. However, since the license is tied (to your Jolla account and) to the IMEI of the broken device, you need to make a request at Jolla customer support asking them to release the license from the old phone. Once done, sign in to your Jolla account from the new device and the licensed apps will appear in Jolla Store for the new device.
sounds like a legit reason. one license, one device. the price point however might not be very attractive. id immagine, jolla being small and all, they havent thought this through to the bottom.

Thanks, so I buy the f5122 and install the new version and after I install it I request the IMEI change? Will it mean that having the F5122 bought and installed it will "not boot" until I get serviced by Jolla CS?
Thanks!
Hi. I have same problem. My device F5151 open in repair to Sony and it gave me another device. I open a ticket to Jolla but your services is slow. Have 5 days waiting my request and no answer. Says only to wait.
