Server Version#:  
Player Version#:  
If I purchase Plex Pass, and apply it to any server, will anyone whom I have added as a “friend” on the server now be able to stream without being required to purchase a remote watch pass?

They’ll be able to stream remotely from your server without needing an extra watch pass or Plex Pass.

See #1 from [https://support.plex.tv/articles/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-personal-media/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-personal-media/)

> When using an affected platform to stream personal video content remotely from a Plex Media Server, then one of the following needs to be true:
> 
> 1. The admin account for the Plex Media Server has an active Plex Pass (which also allows remote playback for any other user streaming from that server)
> 2. Your account has an active Plex Pass
> 3. Your account has an active Remote Watch Pass
