I don't think app license is valid for "simultaneous use" on 2 devices using same google account.

I have used Nova launcher prime and Poweramp on two phones simultaneously without any issue . (Have removed google account from RN3 for testing different apps before purchasing them for OP3)

Using same google account on both phones simultaneously too?

Yes. Licensing part is taken care by google play services.

If you have Lucky Patcher it might interfere with licensing service.

No lucky patcher in either of the phones. Both are non-rooted phones.

I see,I thought google play apps are hardware ID bound,kinda like microsoft,& one license is supposed to run only on one hardware ID.

I faced the same issue when I hard reset my phone today. Removed the phone by going to myaccount.google.com on a desktop and then added same account on phone. This fixed the problem.

Any alternative for Opera Mini? App turned into crap with all the lockscreen ads.

Try this,seems good:
Firefox Focus: The privacy browser – Android Apps on Google Play

I do not think Firefox Focus can be an alternative to Opera Mini which functions based on server side compression. UC Browser may be but that is also equally bad.

Try Brave Browser. It does not actually compress pages but blocks so much of ads that the pages load better.

I'm already using it but feels as if something is lacking.
Found this app which isn't available in Indian play store (got it from apkmirror):

Firefox Rocket - Fast and Lightweight Web Browser – Android Apps on Google Play

Let me see how it compares with Opera Mini.

Would try it as well.

What about using noscript with firefox/firefox based mobile browsers,it should take care of any ad?Only thing is you have to enable 2-3 domains on every website for full/almost full functionality but if you need to read only text then even that is not required for most sites.

I am a big fan of Firefox in general and have both Firefox and Nightly installed and in use on mobile. (just love their sync feature)

But they are heavy. And slower too. At least the UI is.

Brave is much better and responsive.

I need something powerful like chrome but light on resources like firefox focus. Opera mini used to be that option.

Then I don't think anything comparable is available.Have you tried noscript with FF focus,may be after a few days of adjustments(aka learning which domains to allow on noscript for most visited sites) this combo may come close to opera mini?

 

[Zangetsu]

FF Focus is a privacy browser which removes your browsing traces on exit.
Chrome is what mostly used by people on Mobile.

Also, give a try to Microsoft Edge

Those can be disabled from opera mini settings even those news can be turned off
