WWE Network has begun disallowing fans from sharing their network accounts across multiple devices, with the message "stream limit exceeded" popping up if the fans attempt to do so – reports wrestlinginc.com.
WWE also updated their Terms of Service, stating:
Access to WWE Network is subject to approval of your Payment Method information and verification of other information you submit to us or that is otherwise provided to us. Accordingly, if your payment (flat fee or monthly) cannot be processed for any reason, including because your Payment Method is no longer valid, we may terminate your access to the WWE Network immediately.

Although your WWE Network subscription is accessible on a number of devices, your use is limited to one (1) WWE Network stream on one (1) device at any given time. IF YOU CIRCUMVENT OR ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT ANY OF THE USE RESTRICTIONS IN THESE TERMS, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE TERMINATION AND YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL ACTION. SHARING OF LOGIN INFORMATION, INCLUDING PASSWORDS, IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
The company also provided an explanation for their recent move in the Help section, which says:
If you see an error that says "STREAM LIMIT EXCEEDED" or "TOO MANY USAGE ATTEMPTS" it means your WWE Network account is in use on another device. WWE Network allows one Network stream per login.
To resolve:
• Log out of all devices
• Log back in to the primary device you are trying to view on
If you have shared your account with friends or family, they may be using WWE Network while you're trying watch some content. WWE Network allows one Network stream per login.
If you think someone is using your account without your permission:
• Log out of all devices
• Change your WWE Password
• Log back in to the primary device you are trying to view on
WWE’s recent strategy is most likely their attempt to address security and privacy concerns, with many websites having come under threat in recent times.
