Disney has internally tested the enforcement of the four-device login policy and plans to implement it later this year for such accounts

The new rule won’t just affect premium accounts, but also cheaper ones.

Disney wants to find a balance between making it easy for users and stopping account sharing. Right now, about 5% of premium users use more than four devices.
