I can see all the TV shows that I’ve loaded onto Plex from downstairs and I’m logged into the master account, but if I try to play an episode I’m told that I have to spend money to “activate” the player. This does not happen on my SmartTV.

"Activate Plex" is required to watch my personal material

I believe the app from the Windows Store was indeed paid for, however I think it is now depreciated.

For the desktop, I would use either Plex for Windows or Plex Media Player (this has a 10ft UI).
