Add a generator to a Mobile Link account

At this time, Mobile Link allows one registered generator per account. The Mobile Link for Generators app allows Android and iOS users to monitor and track their generator's statuses and maintenance history. 

What if I get an error when adding a second generator?

If you get the message "At this time you are unable to add another product to your Mobile Link account", then please contact Customer Support if you want a generator (or fuel monitor) added or removed from your account.

Current device limits

Currently the account set up process allows for 1 generator and 2 tank monitors to be added to a single account set up: Why did I get a "limit reached" error in Mobile Link?

If your current devices exceed these limits, Generac support urges you to work with a local dealer to establish a dealer-managed plan: How do I upgrade to a Dealer-Managed plan in Mobile Link?


Environment

This article applies to Mobile Link users who have an existing account and are currently logged in. To create a Mobile Link account and enroll devices during the account creation process, see the How Do I Set up a Mobile Link Account article.

Mobile Link product enrollment functionality

Account set up functionality will allow you to add 1 generator and 2 tank fuel monitors. If you have additional products, we would recommend working with a dealer to set up a dealer managed account: How do I upgrade to a Dealer-Managed plan in Mobile Link?

Note: Current account set up will not allow for more than the listed amounts above. If you have additional, please consult a local dealer. Future changes may allow for additional products to be added.
