Hi, Couldn’t find a clear response anywhere, so I’d like to be sure: as a server owner with a lifetime Plex Pass, will my dad still be able to watch the content on my server without having to pay for a remote watch plan? Thank you for your time, Best regards.

If you already have a Plex Pass subscription, anyone with whom you share your server can watch remotely (including yourself) with no additional subscription. So a Remote Watch Pass is not needed. See the first entry under “How Are You Affected” in this article. https://support.plex.tv/articles/re…

Yes, definitely. See the FAQ section here: https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates/
